Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 1828
Gene name Desmoglein 1
Gene symbol DSG1
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CDHF4DG1DSGEPKHEEPKHIAPPKS1SPPK1
Chromosome 18
Chromosome location 18q12.1
Summary This gene encodes a member of the desmoglein protein subfamily. Desmogleins, along with desmocollins, are cadherin-like transmembrane glycoproteins that are major components of the desmosome. Desmosomes are cell-cell junctions that help resist shearing fo
