Overview

Product Description Mouse Monoclonal antibody [DP-2.15] recognizes Desmoplakin DPI and DPII
Mouse anti Desmoplakin 1/2 antibody, clone DP-2. 15 recognizes both desmoplakin 1 and 2 from stratified epithelia, simple epithelia including glands, urothelium, thymic reticular epithelium, hepatocytes, intercalated disks of myocardium and arachnoid cells of meninges. Mouse anti Desmoplakin 1/2 antibody, clone DP-2. 15 can be used for the detection of primary and metastatic carcinomas. Mouse anti Desmoplakin 1/2 antibody, clone DP-2. 15 recognizes the N terminus of the rod domain of desmoplakin ( Bornslaeger et al. 1996).

Gene Full Name desmoplakin
Background Desmosomes are intercellular junctions that tightly link adjacent cells. Desmoplakin is an obligate component of functional desmosomes that anchors intermediate filaments to desmosomal plaques. The N-terminus of desmoplakin is required for localization to the desmosome and interacts with the N-terminal region of plakophilin 1 and plakoglobin. The C-terminus of desmoplakin binds with intermediate filaments. In the mid-region of desmoplakin, a coiled-coiled rod domain is responsible for homodimerization. Mutations in this gene are the cause of several cardiomyopathies and keratodermas as well as the autoimmune disease paraneoplastic pemphigus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function Major high molecular weight protein of desmosomes. Involved in the organization of the desmosomal cadherin-plakoglobin complexes into discrete plasma membrane domains and in the anchoring of intermediate filaments to the desmosomes. [UniProt]
Calculated MW 332 kDa
PTM Ser-2849 is probably phosphorylated by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphorylation on Ser-2849 probably affects its association with epidermal, simple cytokeratins and VIM intermediate filaments. [UniProt]
