Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * The human homolog of the mouse desmoglein 2 gene is known as desmoglein 2 (DSG2). * It is a large protein with a molecular weight of approximately 120 kDa. * It is a transmembrane protein that is expressed in a variety of cell types, including epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and immune cells. * It is a key component of desmosomes, which are cell adhesion complexes that hold epithelial cells together and provide structural support for tissues. * It is also involved in cell signaling and migration. **Pathways and functions:** * Desmoglein 2 is involved in cell adhesion, migration, and signaling in epithelial tissues. * It is a key component of desmosomes, which are cell adhesion complexes that hold epithelial cells together and provide structural support for tissues. * It is also involved in cell signaling and migration. * It has been shown to play a role in the regulation of epithelial cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. * It is also involved in the regulation of immune cell trafficking. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in the DSG2 gene have been linked to several human diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease. * These mutations can disrupt desmoglein 2 signaling, leading to cell adhesion defects and tissue disorganization. * Targeting the DSG2 gene has been explored as a therapeutic strategy for these diseases.
