Summary: This gene encodes a member of the desmoglein family and cadherin cell adhesion molecule superfamily of proteins. Desmogleins are calcium-binding transmembrane glycoprotein components of desmosomes, cell-cell junctions between epithelial, myocardial, and other cell types. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature glycoprotein. This gene is present in a gene cluster with other desmoglein gene family members on chromosome 18. The encoded protein has been identified as the autoantigen of the autoimmune blistering disease pemphigus vulgaris. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

Report have provided evidence that Dsg3 seems to act as a regulator of YAP and phospho-YAP (pYAP) in cell proliferation and in response to mechanical stress via at least one mechanism of forming a complex with pYAP and regulating its cellular localization.

Study shows a precise time course of DSG3 endocytosis and keratin retraction in response to pemphigus vulgaris (PV)-IgG, dissecting the temporal relationship of two hallmarks of PV. Results demonstrate that both mechanisms contribute to loss of cell cohesion but appear to be largely independent of each other.

These results demonstrate that signaling patterns parallel the clinical phenotype of pemphigus as some mechanisms involved in loss of cell cohesion are caused by antibodies targeting Dsg3 whereas others correlate with autoantibodies against Dsg1.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
