The desmosome and pemphigus

2 Apr 2008

Abstract excerpt

Desmosomes are patch-like intercellular adhering junctions ("maculae adherentes"), which, in concert with the related adherens junctions, provide the mechanical strength to intercellular adhesion. Therefore, it is not surprising that desmosomes are abundant in tissues subjected to significant mechanical stress such as stratified epithelia and myocardium. Desmosomal adhesion is based on the Ca(2+)-dependent, homo-...
