METHOD FOR SCREENING AGENTS PROMOTING SKIN BARRIER FUNCTION AND METHOD FOR EVALUATING SKIN BARRIER FUNCTION TAKING EPIDERMAL SERINE RACEMASE AND/OR D-SERINE LEVEL AS INDICATOR

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to develop a method for screening drugs having the effect of increasing skin barrier function in in vitro studies and to evaluate barrier function in the skin. Candidate drugs can be screened by using the activity and/or expression level of serine racemase as an indicator.
