Recognizes human skin the, specifically with a 160 kD polypeptide typical for Desmoglein 1. In immunolocalization studies the mab shows typical staining of suprabasal layers of the epidermis and special regions of fetal anagen hair follicles. The staining pattern observed corresponds to those obtained with pemphigus foliaceus patient sera. Cross-reaction with Desmogleins 2 and 3 was not detected.
Desmosomes are cell-cell junctions between epithelial, myocardial, and certain other cell types. Currently, three desmoglein subfamily members have been identified and all are members of the cadherin cell adhesion molecule superfamily. These desmoglein gene family members are located in a cluster on chromosome 18. This protein has been identified as the autoantigen of the autoimmune skin blistering disease pemphigus vulgaris.
