Gene Name	desmoglein 2
Database Link	Entrez Gene 1829 Human UniProt ID Q14126
Background	Desmosomes are cell-cell junctions between epithelial, myocardial, and certain other cell types. Desmoglein 2 is a calcium-binding transmembrane glycoprotein component of desmosomes in vertebrate epithelial cells. 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 second family member is expressed in colon, colon carcinoma, and other simple and stratified epithelial-derived cell lines.
Synonyms	DSG2, CDHF5,HDGC
Note	Desmoglein 2 (1069 aa; calculated mol. wt. 116,760)
