Within this network, ERBB receptors are of great importance in controlling the proliferation, differentiation, and survival of epidermal and hair follicle (HF) keratinocytes as well as sebaceous glands (SGs) in the skin. Consequently, leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains (LRIG) protein family comprising LRIG1, LRIG2, and LRIG3 as one of the fundamental regulators of ERBB receptors plays a pivotal role in tissue development and homeostasis. The function of LRIGs in maintaining skin homeostasis is primarily understood due to the most extensively studied member, LRIG1. However, the role of LRIG3, the last member of this protein family in the skin, is unknown. While its function has been demonstrated in development and maintenance of the homeostasis of various tissues such as inner ear and neural crest morphogenesis via modulating NOTCH and fibroblast growth factor signaling pathways, respectively. Here, we provided the first insights into how\n                    <jats:italic>Lrig3<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0overexpression in mouse skin, using the Tet-Off-System, influences cutaneous homeostasis.
