[The role of a growth-related cytosol protein kinase in the pathogenesis of psoriasis].

Abstract

A Growth-related protein kinase's activity was studied in clinically affected and unaffected psoriatic epidermis. This activity was about 3 fold higher in clinically affected skin. Additionally, the unaffected psoriatic epidermis shows higher activity than the normal one. We conclude that the Growth-related protein kinase might be involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.
