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.

Identification of Desmoglein as a Cadherin and Analysis of Desmoglein Domain Structure
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

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)

Evaluation of autoantibodies to desmoglein-2 in dogs with and without cardiac disease
Autoantibodies to desmoglein-2 have been associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) in people. ARVC is a common disease in the Boxer dog.

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 ...

The mapping of linear B-cell epitope regions in desmoglein 1 and 3 proteins : Recognition of immobilized peptides by pemphigus patients’ serum autoantibodies [PDF]
Desmosomal transmembrane glycoproteins desmoglein 1and desmoglein 3 are targets of life-threatening autoimmune blistering disorders such as Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and Pemphigus foliaceus(PF).

Desmogleins and Desmocollins as Adhesive Molecules [PDF]
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.

Desmoglein as a Target in Skin Disease and Beyond [PDF]
Much of the original research on desmosomes and their biochemical components was through analysis of skin and mucous membranes. The identification of desmogleins 1 and 3, desmosomal adhesion glycoproteins, as targets in pemphigus, a fatal autoimmune blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes, provided the first link between desmosomes ...
