Desmosomal cadherins

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2002
New evidence from blocking desmosomal adhesion with anti-adhesion peptides reveals a role for desmosomes in cell positioning in morphogenesis. Desmosomal adhesion is necessary for the stability of adherens junctions in epithelial cell sheets. Knockout and mis-expression of desmosomal cadherins in mice suggests that they may function directly or ...

Inherited desmosomal disorders

Cell and Tissue Research, 2014
Desmosomes serve as intercellular junctions in various tissues including the skin and the heart where they play a crucial role in cell-cell adhesion, signalling and differentiation. The desmosomes connect the cell surface to the keratin cytoskeleton and are composed of a transmembranal part consisting mainly of desmosomal cadherins, armadillo proteins ...

Discriminating roles of desmosomal cadherins: Beyond desmosomal adhesion

Journal of Dermatological Science, 2007
The desmosomal cadherins, which include desmogleins and desmocollins, are Ca(2+)-dependent adhesion molecules that cooperate to make up the adhesive core of intercellular junctions known as desmosomes. The roles of desmosomal cadherins in epidermal integrity and as targets in human cutaneous disease have been well established.

Desmosomes and hemidesmosomes

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1993
Desmosomes and hemidesmosomes are extremely different in their molecular composition. Most of the protein and glycoprotein components are products of members of multigene families, but show specialization for plaque formation and intermediate filament attachment.

Structural studies on desmosomes

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2008
Desmosomes are cadherin-based intercellular junctions that primarily provide mechanical stability to tissues such as epithelia and cardiac muscle. Desmosomal cadherins, which are Ca2+-dependent adhesion molecules, are of central importance in mediating direct intercellular interaction.
