homeostasis/metabolism
• delay in skin barrier establishment
• at E17.5 the rate of water loss from the dorsal surface is about 3 fold higher compared to controls but no difference is detected at E18.5
• at E17.5 the rate of water loss from the ventral surface is slightly higher compared to controls and at E18.5 the rate of water loss from the dorsal surface is about 2 to 3 fold higher compared to controls

• expression analysis suggests that terminal differentiation is impaired

• modest reduction in the number of cornified cell layers at E17.5 and E18.5
• impaired surface distribution of neutral lipids
