Background: Desmoglein-4

Desmoglein-4 is an approximately 140 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein in the cadherin family of calcium dependent adhesion molecules. Human Desmoglein-4 is synthesized with a 26 amino acid (aa) propeptide followed by a 582 aa extracellular domain (ECD) with four tandem cadherin-like domains, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 388 aa cytoplasmic domain (1, 2). Within the ECD, human Desmoglein-4 shares 82% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat Desmoglein-4. Alternative splicing generates additional isoform with a substitution in the cytoplasmic domain. Desmoglein-4 is the principal cadherin of desmosomes which form adhesive contacts between epithelial cells (2, 3). It is expressed in hair follicles and differentiated keratinocytes in suprabasal layers of the skin and plays a role in keratinocyte differentiation and adhesion (2, 3). Mutations in human Desmoglein-4 are associated with the development of monilethrix autosomal recessive hypotrichosis (LAH) (2, 4-8). Autoantibodies directed against Desmoglein-3 in the blistering skin disorder pemphigus vulgaris can cross-react with Desmoglein-4 (2, 9, 10).
