Significance of anti‐desmocollin autoantibodies in pemphigus
28 Dec 2022
Abstract excerpt
The major autoantigens for pemphigus are desmogleins (Dsgs), cell-cell adhesive structure proteins, one of the desmosomal cadherins. Recent progress in molecular biology has revealed that IgG autoantibodies of classical pemphigus react with Dsg1 or Dsg3. Desmocollins (Dscs) also belong to the cadherin supergene family that provides structure to the desmosomes and play an important role in cell-to-cell adhesion....
