| Tissue Specificity | Expressed throughout the basal and spinous layer of the epidermis with weak expression in the granular layer (at protein level). Also expressed in the buccal mucosa, esophagus and cervix (at protein level). |
| Post Translational Modifications | |
| Function | A component of desmosome cell-cell junctions which are required for positive regulation of cellular adhesion. Required for cell-cell adhesion in the epidermis, as a result required for the maintenance of the dermal cohesion and the dermal barrier function. Required for cell-cell adhesion of epithelial cell layers surrounding the telogen hair club, as a result plays an important role in telogen hair shaft anchorage. Essential for successful completion of embryo compaction and embryo development. |
