Cortical tension regulates desmosomal morphogenesis
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Mechanical stability is a fundamental and essential property of epithelial cell sheets. It is in large part determined by cell-cell adhesion sites that are tightly integrated by the cortical cytoskeleton.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Pemphigus is an autoimmune dermatosis in which mucocutaneous blisters are induced primarily by autoantibodies against Desmoglein (Dsg) 1 and 3. Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) usually is associated with autoantibodies against Dsg3 whereas pemphigus foliaceus (PF)

Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 BackgroundPemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a rare and severe autoimmune blistering disorder affecting the skin and mucous membranes, characterized by the production of autoantibodies against two desmosomal adhesion proteins, desmoglein 1 and 3.

International Journal of Trichology, 2013 Desmogleins (Dsgs) are calcium-dependent, transmembrane glycoproteins belonging to the desmosomal cadherin superfamily, which play significant roles in selective calcium ions (Ca(2+)) dependent adhesion interactions between cell surfaces. Four subtypes of Dsg have been identified.

Use of Domain-Swapped Molecules for Conformational Epitope Mapping of Desmoglein 3 in Pemphigus Vulgaris [PDF]
, 2000 Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune blistering disease caused by autoantibodies against desmoglein 3, a member of the desmosomal cadherin family. These autoantibodies recognize conformation-dependent epitopes on desmoglein 3.

Cells, 2023 Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a potentially lethal autoimmune bullous skin disorder caused by IgG autoantibodies against desmoglein 3 (Dsg3) and Dsg1. During the last three decades, high-dose intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIgs) have been applied as an ...

Identification of Desmoglein as a Cadherin and Analysis of Desmoglein Domain Structure
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2007 In the 1980s and early 1990s, the ability to clone complementary DNA (cDNA) resulted in great advances in cell biology, including our understanding of cell adhesion. Cloning the cDNA encoding desmosomal molecules, and the determination of their deduced amino-acid sequences, provided novel insights into their structure and function. It had been shown by

Desmogleins and Desmocollins as Adhesive Molecules [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2007 Following the identification of desmoglein and desmocollins as the transmembrane components of the desmosome, sequence analysis re vealed that they are members of the cadherin family of cell–cell adhesion molecules. Cadherins are characterized by the presence of conserved extracellular calcium-binding motifs.
