Human Epidermal Keratinocytes, Adult (HEKa) are primary cells derived from adult skin and preserved through cryopreservation. Constituting the predominant cellular population in the epidermis, the outermost skin layer, they account for approximately 90% of all epidermal cells. Their pivotal role lies in the synthesis of keratin, the principal intermediate filament responsible for upholding the skin’s barrier function. Furthermore, these keratinocytes engage in interactions with epidermal melanocytes, facilitating the acquisition and sequestration of melanin as a defense mechanism against harmful UV radiation, thus fortifying the skin’s photoprotective capabilities.
