Desmoglein 2 Is Less Important than Desmoglein 3 for Keratinocyte Cohesion
Desmosomes provide intercellular adhesive strength required for integrity of epithelial and some non-epithelial tissues. Within the epidermis, the cadherin-type adhesion molecules desmoglein (Dsg) 1–4 and desmocollin (Dsc) 1–3 build the adhesive core of desmosomes. In keratinocytes, several isoforms...
