Other Information

**Key characteristics:** - Type: Protein - Ensembl ID: ENSG00000134760 - Protein length: 134 amino acids - Domain structure: IgV domain, cytoplasmic domain, extracellular domain - Function: Regulates epithelial cell adhesion and migration **Pathways and functions:** - Apoptosis: DSG1 is involved in the regulation of apoptosis, a process by which cells die on their own. It is expressed in cells that are about to undergo apoptosis and is thought to play a role in maintaining epithelial cell integrity and preventing cancer. - Cell migration: In non-epithelial cells, DSG1 is required for the migration of cells along epithelial basement membranes. - Tissue morphogenesis: In epithelial cells, DSG1 is essential for the formation of the cornified envelope, a specialized layer that protects the underlying tissues. - Immune function: DSG1 is expressed in immune cells, where it plays a role in the regulation of inflammation and tissue repair. - Signaling: DSG1 is a key regulator of the Rho GTPase signaling pathway, which is involved in cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. **Clinical significance:** - Genetic variants in the DSG1 gene have been linked to several human diseases, including psoriasis, skin cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease. - Mutations in the DSG1 gene have been shown to disrupt epithelial cell adhesion, leading to cell migration and tumor formation. - Therefore, targeting the DSG1 gene has emerged as a potential therapeutic strategy for these diseases.
