An imbalance in Akt/mTOR is involved in the apoptotic and acantholytic processes in a mouse model of pemphigus vulgaris [PDF]
, 2009 Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune blistering disease characterized by the presence of IgG autoantibodies against Dsg3. Our aim was to investigate the molecular events implicated in the development and localization of apoptosis and acantholysis in ...

Paraneoplastic pemphigus with clinical features of lichen planus associated with low-grade B cell lymphoma [PDF]
, 2005 BACKGROUND: Neoplasia-induced lichen planus is described as a cell-mediated reaction to unknown epithelial antigens. Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP), characterized by the presence of a specific array of autoantibodies, probably represents a different form

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.

c-Src/Cav1-dependent activation of the EGFR by Dsg2. [PDF]
, 2016 The desmosomal cadherin, desmoglein 2 (Dsg2), is deregulated in a variety of human cancers including those of the skin. When ectopically expressed in the epidermis of transgenic mice, Dsg2 activates multiple mitogenic signaling pathways and increases ...

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.
