Structural highlights
Disease[DSC2_HUMAN] Familial isolated arrhythmogenic ventricular dysplasia, right dominant form;Familial isolated arrhythmogenic ventricular dysplasia, biventricular form;Familial isolated arrhythmogenic ventricular dysplasia, left dominant form. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Function[DSC2_HUMAN] Component of intercellular desmosome junctions. Involved in the interaction of plaque proteins and intermediate filaments mediating cell-cell adhesion. May contribute to epidermal cell positioning (stratification) by mediating differential adhesiveness between cells that express different isoforms. Contents | ||||||||||||||||||
