Gene information for CDSN (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1041
Official gene symbolCDSN
Full namecorneodesmosin
Aliases,D6S586E,HTSS,S,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein found in corneodesmosomes, which localize to human epidermis and other cornified squamous epithelia. During maturation of the cornified layers, the protein undergoes a series of cleavages, which are thought to be required for desquamation. The gene is located in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I region on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq]
