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.

Erythrokeratodermia‐Cardiomyopathy Syndrome: Expanding the DSP Mutational Spectrum Beyond Proline Substitutions

Pediatric Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Erythrokeratodermia cardiomyopathy (EKC) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by generalized erythrokeratoderma and progressive dilated cardiomyopathy, caused by pathogenic variants in the SR6 domain of desmoplakin (DSP).

Pathophysiology of autoimmune bullous diseases: Nature versus nurture

Indian Journal of Dermatology, 2017
Pemphigus and pemphigoid are the prototypical immunobullous diseases. Although it has been well established that they are caused by deposition of autoreactive antibodies directed against adherence proteins within the skin, the specific genetic and ...

Pemphigus IgG Causes Skin Splitting in the Presence of Both Desmoglein 1 and Desmoglein 3 [PDF]

The American Journal of Pathology, 2007
According to the desmoglein (Dsg) compensation concept, different epidermal cleavage planes observed in pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus have been proposed to be caused by different autoantibody profiles against the desmosomal proteins Dsg 1 and Dsg 3.

Desmoglein ELISA in the Diagnosis of Pemphigus and Its Correlation with the Severity of Pemphigus Vulgaris

Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2009
Anti-desmoglein 3 and 1 autoantibodies are involved in the pathogenesis of pemphigus diseases. Our objective was to assess the value of ELISA in the diagnosis of pemphigus and its correlation with the severity of pemphigus vulgaris.

Prognostic Significance of Desmoglein 2 and Desmoglein 3 in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention, 2014
Desmogleins (DSGs) are major members among the desmosomal cadherins critically involved in cell-cell adhesion and the maintenance of normal tissue architecture in epithelia. Reports exploring links of DSG family member expression with cancers are few and vary.

Molecular Changes Induced by Carbon Dioxide Laser in Hailey‐Hailey Disease: A Potential Mechanism Underlying Treatment Efficacy

International Journal of Dermatology, Volume 65, Issue 4, Page 797-805, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Hailey‐Hailey disease (HHD) is a rare genodermatosis caused by mutations in the ATP2C1 gene that codes for SPCA1, a calcium transporter in the epidermis. HHD impairs quality of life, and no curative treatment exists. Methods To confirm the efficacy and safety of CO2 laser in HHD, we conducted a randomized, prospective, controlled ...
