Background Descriptions | The protein encoded by this gene is a calcium-dependent glycoprotein that is a member of the desmocollin subfamily of the cadherin superfamily. These desmosomal family members, along with the desmogleins, are found primarily in epithelial cells where they constitute the adhesive proteins of the desmosome cell-cell junction and are required for cell adhesion and desmosome formation. The desmosomal family members are arranged in two clusters on chromosome 18, occupying less than 650 kb combined. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

Synonyms | CDHF1 |
Function | A component of desmosome cell-cell junctions which are required for positive regulation of cellular adhesion (By similarity). Required for desmosome adhesion strength between the granular layers of the epidermis, as a result moderates epidermal proliferation and differentiation (By similarity). Is therefore required to maintain postnatal epidermal barrier function and normal hair follicle morphology into adulthood (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cell junction, desmosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P55849} |
Tissue Location | Strongly expressed in epidermis, less in lymph node and tongue. |
