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.

Protease inhibitors prevent plasminogen-mediated, but not pemphigus vulgaris-induced, acantholysis in human epidermis [PDF]
Pemphigus is an autoimmune blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes. It is caused by autoantibodies directed against desmosomes, which are the principal adhesion structures between epidermal keratinocytes.

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).

Non-classical forms of pemphigus: pemphigus herpetiformis, IgA pemphigus, paraneoplastic pemphigus and IgG/IgA pemphigus [PDF]
The pemphigus group comprises the autoimmune intraepidermal blistering diseases classically divided into two major types: pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceous.

Desmoglein Versus Non-desmoglein Signaling in Pemphigus Acantholysis [PDF]
Although it is accepted that pemphigus antibody binding to keratinocytes (KCs) evokes an array of intracellular biochemical events resulting in cell detachment and death, the triggering events remain obscure. It has been postulated that the binding of pemphigus vulgaris IgG (PVIgG) to KCs induces "desmosomal" signaling. Because in contrast to integrins

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

IgA pemphigus showing IgA antibodies to desmoglein 1 and 3
Background: IgA pemphigus is a rare autoimmune vesiculo-pustular skin disease. Only approximately 70 cases have been reported to date. We report a case of IgA pemphigus with IgA antibodies to desmoglein 1 (Dsg1) and desmoglein 3 (Dsg3).

Cortical tension regulates desmosomal morphogenesis
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.
