About DSG2

Cytogenetic location: 18q12.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 18:31,498,177-31,549,008 (from NCBI)

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 390 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 7 phenotypes. Broad expression in colon (RPKM 71.0), small intestine (RPKM 46.2) and 18 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the desmoglein family and cadherin cell adhesion molecule superfamily of proteins. Desmogleins are calcium-binding transmembrane glycoprotein components of desmosomes, cell-cell junctions between epithelial, myocardial, and other cell types. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature glycoprotein. This gene is present in a gene cluster with other desmoglein gene family members on chromosome 18. Mutations in this gene have been associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, familial, 10. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
