1 Feb 1993
Abstract excerpt
Desmosomes and hemidesmosomes are extremely different in their molecular composition. Most of the protein and glycoprotein components are products of members of multigene families, but show specialization for plaque formation and intermediate filament attachment. Desmosomal glycoproteins are more heterogeneous than previously suspected, with different isoforms showing tissue-specific and differentiation-related...
