Inherited desmosomal disorders
Cell and Tissue Research, 2014Desmosomes 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, 2007The 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.

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, 2008Desmosomes 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.

Hereditary diseases of desmosomes
Journal of Dermatological Science, 1999Desmosomes are key adhesion complexes in most epithelia, including epidermis. Although structural components of desmosomes have been identified as target antigens in several of the autoimmune blistering skin diseases, there are relatively few data on inherited disorders arising from mutations in genes encoding these proteins and glycoproteins.

The British journal of dermatology, 2012
Desmosomes are intercellular junctions that contribute to cell-cell adhesion, signalling, development and differentiation in various tissues, including the skin. Composed of a network of transmembranous and intracellular plaque proteins, pathogenic autosomal dominant or recessive mutations have been reported in 10 different desmosomal genes, resulting ...
