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 forces and are found in high concentrations in cells subject to mechanical stress. This gene is found in a cluster with other desmocollin family members on chromosome 18. Mutations in this gene are associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia-11, and reduced protein expression has been described in several types of cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]. * **<color #00a2e8>UniProt Summary</color>**: 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. <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='Pfam_Domains'>Pfam Domains</button> <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='GO_terms'>GO Terms</button> <modal id='Pfam_Domains' size='lg' title='Pfam Domains'> |Cadherin pro| |Cadherin C| |Cadherin| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |cell adhesive protein binding involved in bundle of His cell-Purkinje myocyte communication| |bundle of His cell-Purkinje myocyte adhesion involved in cell communication| |cardiac muscle cell-cardiac muscle cell adhesion| |bundle of His cell to Purkinje myocyte communication| |regulation of ventricular cardiac muscle cell action potential| |desmosome| |regulation of cardiac muscle cell action potential| |heterotypic cell-cell adhesion| |regulation of heart rate by cardiac conduction| |regulation of cardiac muscle cell contraction| |regulation of actin filament-based movement| |cell communication involved in cardiac conduction| |intercalated disc| |regulation of action potential| |homotypic cell-cell adhesion| |cornified envelope| |regulation of cardiac muscle contraction| |regulation of striated muscle contraction| |cardiac conduction| |regulation of heart rate| |cell-cell adherens junction| |cornification| |multicellular organismal signaling| |cellular response to starvation| |regulation of muscle contraction| |homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules| |cell-cell junction| |response to starvation| |keratinization| |cellular response to nutrient levels| |regulation of muscle system process| |regulation of heart contraction| |cytoplasmic vesicle| |cell-cell adhesion via plasma-membrane adhesion molecules| |cellular response to extracellular stimulus| |keratinocyte differentiation| |regulation of blood circulation| |epidermal cell differentiation| |cellular response to external stimulus| |skin development| |regulation of actin filament-based process| |epidermis development| |regulation of membrane potential| |response to nutrient levels| |cell-cell adhesion| |response to extracellular stimulus| |regulation of system process| |epithelial cell differentiation| |calcium ion binding| |cell adhesion| |biological adhesion| |regulation of cellular component movement| |programmed cell death| |cell death| |epithelium development| |cellular response to stress| |tissue development| </modal> \\ === CRISPR Data === <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Compound_Hit'>Compound Hit</button> <button type='default' size='small' modal='Most_Correlated_Genes'>Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics</button> <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Essential_Avana'>Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)</button> <modal id='Compound_Hit' size='lg' title='Compound Hit'> ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp175|3-Bromopyruvate 7μM R04 exp175]]|-1.94| |[[:results:exp270|Campthothecin 0.001μM R06 exp270]]|-1.85| |[[:results:exp228|Demecolcine 0.03μM R05 exp228]]|-1.77| |[[:results:exp46|HMS-I1 1μM R01 exp46]]|1.72| </modal> <modal id='Most_Correlated_Genes' size='lg' title='Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics'> No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics. </modal> <modal id='Essential_Avana' size='lg' title='Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)'> Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 12898 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: 2.58 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='DSC2 Expression in NALM6 Cells: 2.58'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2026/01/07 22:36by 127.0.0.1
