    Glossary Desmoglein 3

    protein crucial for cell adhesion in skin and mucous membranes

    Desmoglein 3 (Dsg3) is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell adhesion, specifically in the skin and mucous membranes. It is a component of desmosomes, which are structures that help cells stick together, providing strength and integrity to tissues. Defects or autoimmune attacks against Dsg3 can lead to conditions like pemphigus vulgaris, a disease characterized by blistering and erosion of the skin and mucous membranes.
