Other Names | Desmocollin-1, Cadherin family member 1, Desmosomal glycoprotein 2/3, DG2/DG3, DSC1, CDHF1 |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP8666b was selected from the C-term region of human DSC1. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | DSC1 |
---|---|
Synonyms | CDHF1 |
Function | Component of intercellular desmosome junctions. Involved in the interaction of plaque proteins and intermediate filaments mediating cell-cell adhesion. May contribute to epidermal cell positioning (stratification) by mediating differential adhesiveness between cells that express different isoforms. Linked to the keratinization of epithelial tissues. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cell junction, desmosome |
Tissue Location | Strongly expressed in epidermis, less in lymph node and tongue |

Background
DSC1 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.
