Abstract excerpt
The protein bullous pemphigoid antigen-2 (BPAG2/BP180/collagen type XVII) plays a key role in attachment of basal keratinocytes to epidermal basement membrane. The binding of BP180 with either integrin alpha6, integrin beta4, or bullous pemphigoid antigen-1 (BPAG1/BP230) is critical for this attachment in skin. The protein 14-3-3 sigma, also known as stratifin and a marker for epithelial cells, is a member of a...
