Abstract
This review presents comparative aspects of epidermal keratinization in vertebrates, with emphasis on the evolution of the stratum corneum in land vertebrates. The epidermis of fish does not contain proteins connected with interkeratin matrix and corneous cell envelope formation. Mucus‐like material glues loose keratin filaments. In amphibians a cell corneous envelope forms but matrix proteins, aside from mucus/glycoproteins, are scarce or...
