Caption

Loss of ABCA12 causes neonatal lethality and epidermal hyperkeratosis. A, Abca12^tm1Lex/Abca12^tm1Lex (Abca12 -/-) day 18.5 embryos (E18.5) when kept hydrated are similar in size and weight to wild-type (Abca +/+) littermates, but after exposure to air rapidly dry out and become encased in a collodion-like shell (B). The mutant epidermis displays a markedly thickened, hyperkeratotic epidermis as shown in hematoxylin and eosin stained skin sections; scale bar, 20 um (C) (sc, stratum corneum; sg, stratum granulosum; ss, stratum spinosum; sb, stratum basale).
