Summary Lectin‐histochemical study of the equine epidermis of skin and hoof Carbohydrate moieties of cell membranes in the epidermis of equine skin and hoof were investigated using lectin‐histochemistry. The loss of desmosomes during keratinization leads to a reduced lectin affinity. Lectin binding capacity of the intercellular matrix in the stratum corneum of the epidermis is weak compared to that of the intercellular kitt of the hoof. Qualitative differences in lectin binding of the intercellular kitt of different hoof segments correlate with the quality of the horn in the respective areas.
