Description | The desmoplakin (DP) is the most abundant desmosomal proteins and is located at the cytoplasmic portion of the desmosomes which are specialized cell-cell adhesion structures abundant in tissues such as muscle and epidermis that are subjected to mechanical stress. Desmoplakin 1 and 2 (DP 1 and 2) are two splice variants sharing common C-terminal and N-terminal globular head and tail domains, but differ in the length of the rod domain that links them. This antibody detects both DP1 (280-330 kDa) and DP2 (240-260 kDa). Target Information: Desmosomes are intercellular junctions that tightly link adjacent cells. Desmoplakin is an obligate component of functional desmosomes that anchors intermediate filaments to desmosomal plaques. The N-terminus of desmoplakin is required for localization to the desmosome and interacts with the N-terminal region of plakophilin 1 and plakoglobin. The C-terminus of desmoplakin binds with intermediate filaments. In the mid-region of desmoplakin, a coiled-coiled rod domain is responsible for homodimerization. Mutations in this gene are the cause of several cardiomyopathies and keratodermas as well as the autoimmune disease paraneoplastic pemphigus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. |
