Dsc3 - desmocollin 3 Gene
Also Known as 5430426I24Rik
Species: Mus musculus
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the Cadherin family of proteins that mediates adhesion in desmosomes. Together with desmogleins, the encoded protein forms the transmembrane core of desmosomes, a multiprotein complex involved in cell adhesion, organization of the Cytoskeleton, cell sorting and cell signaling. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit a pre-implantation lethal phenotype. This gene is located in a cluster of desmosomal Cadherin genes on chromosome 18. This gene encodes distinct isoforms, some or all of which may undergo similar processing to generate the mature protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
