**Definition:** A spontaneously transformed human epithelial cell line developed from a long-term primary culture of human adult skin KERATINOCYTES. As it maintains an epidermal differentiation capacity, it has been used as a model for keratinization studies. (From:J Cell Biol. 1988 Mar;106(3):761-71.)
