    Summary
    This gene encodes a member of the desmocollin protein subfamily. Desmocollins 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. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

    1. NM_001317363.1NP_001304292.1  desmocollin-2 isoform 3

      Status: REVIEWED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (3) includes an alternate exon in its 5' UTR, uses a downstream in-frame start codon, and contains an additional exon at the 3' end, compared to variant Dsc2a. The encoded isoform (3) has a shorter N-terminus and a shorter and distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform Dsc2a.
