Function | A component of desmosome cell-cell junctions which are required for positive regulation of cellular adhesion (PubMed:38395410). Involved in the interaction of plaque proteins and intermediate filaments mediating cell-cell adhesion. Required for proliferation and viability of embryonic stem cells in the blastocyst, thereby crucial for progression of post-implantation embryonic development (By similarity). Maintains pluripotency by regulating epithelial to mesenchymal transition/mesenchymal to epithelial transition (EMT/MET) via interacting with and sequestering CTNNB1 to sites of cell-cell contact, thereby reducing translocation of CTNNB1 to the nucleus and subsequent transcription of CTNNB1/TCF-target genes (PubMed:29910125). Promotes pluripotency and the multi-lineage differentiation potential of hematopoietic stem cells (PubMed:27338829). Plays a role in endothelial cell sprouting and elongation via mediating the junctional-association of cortical actin fibers and CDH5 (PubMed:27338829). Plays a role in limiting inflammatory infiltration and the apoptotic response to injury in kidney tubular epithelial cells, potentially via its role in maintaining cell-cell adhesion and the epithelial barrier (PubMed:38395410). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cell junction, desmosome. Cytoplasm |
Tissue Location | Expressed in undifferentiated pluripotent stem cells, expression decreases during differentiation (at protein level) (PubMed:29910125). Expressed in hematopoietic stem cells and circulating endothelial progenitor cells, expression decreases upon increasing cell lineage commitment (at protein level) (PubMed:27338829). Expressed on common myeloid progenitors, pro- myelocytes, pro-erythrocytes and B-cell linage progenitors (at protein level). Expression in mature cell types in the bone marrow and mature leukocyte populations is absent (PubMed:27338829). Expressed by foreskin fibroblasts, expression peaks during the early stage of differentiation reprogramming (at protein level) (PubMed:29910125) Expressed by endothelial cells in both arterioles and venules in the cervix (at protein level) (PubMed:27338829). Expressed in kidney tubular epithelial cells (PubMed:38395410) |

Background
Desmoglein-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DSG2 gene. These desmoglein gene family members are located in a cluster on chromosome 18. This second family member is expressed in colon, colon carcinoma, and other simple and stratified epithelial-derived cell lines. Mutations in DSG2 display a high degree of penetrance. Disease expression was of variable severity with LV involvement a prominent feature. The low prevalence of classical ECG changes highlights the need to expand current diagnostic criteria to take account of LV disease, childhood disease expression, and incomplete penetrance.
