Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 1824
Gene name Desmocollin 2
Gene symbol DSC2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ARVD11CDHF2DG2DGII/IIIDSC3
Chromosome 18
Chromosome location 18q12.1
Summary This gene encodes a member of the desmocollin protein subfamily. Desmocollins, along with desmogleins, are cadherin-like transmembrane glycoproteins that are major components of the desmosome. Desmosomes are cell-cell junctions that help resist shearing f
