Desmoglein-3 Antibody (5G11) [DyLight 405]

DyLight (R) is a trademark of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Desmoglein 3 (Dsg3) is a member of sub-family the desmoglein (DSGs) and it mainly serves as adhesion component of intercellular desmosome junctions. DSGs serve essential part of the core complex of desmosomes, and together with desmocollin (DSCs), they represents transmembrane proteins which mediate adhesion by transinteracting with cadherins of the opposing cell. Homophilic (e.g., DSG3-DSG3) as well as heterophilic (e.g., DSC3-DSG1) transinteraction have been reported for these proteins and within the desmosome, DSGs/DSCs are anchored to the intracellular plaque proteins plakoglobin, plakophilins, and desmoplakin, the latter of which mediates connection to the intermediate filament cytoskeleton. Desmoglein 3 is predominately expressed in stratified squamous epithelia including epidermis, tongue, tonsil, esophagus and carcinomas. Desmoglein 3 has been characterized as an auto-antigen of pemphigus vulgaris (PV), a life-threatening autoimmune disease, wherein the binding of anti-desmoglein 3 autoantibodies causes the loss of cell-cell adhesion, which clinically manifests as blisters on the skin and oral mucosa, and histologically as suprabasilar acantholysis.
