Immunological identification and characterization of the desmosomal cadherin Dsg2 in coupled and uncoupled epithelial cells and in human tissues
S Schäfer, S Stumpp, WW Franke - Differentiation, 1996 - Elsevier
Cells of epithelia, but also of certain other tissues such as myocardium and the dendritic
reticulum of lymph node follicles, are interconnected by numerous intercellular junctions
termed desmosomes. These are characterized by a set of transmembrane glycoproteins, ie
the desmosomal cadherins, desmoglein (s) and desmocollin (s). Using cDNA-derived
hybridization probes, we have previously shown that different desmogleins exist (Dsg1-3)
and that only one Dsg isoform, Dsg2, is found in diverse kinds of tissues, tumors and …
