180-kD bullous pemphigoid antigen/type XVII collagen: Tissue-specific expression and molecular interactions with keratin 18
1 Mar 1999
Abstract excerpt
The 180-kD bullous pemphigoid antigen (BPAG2) is a hemidesmosomal transmembrane protein, also known as type XVII collagen. In this study, potential interactions of BPAG2 with other proteins expressed in epidermal keratinocytes were explored by yeast two-hybrid system using the amino-terminal intracellular domain of BPAG2 as a bait. Several independent interacting clones encoding keratin 18 (K18) were identified...
