Gene information for DSG4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID147409
Official gene symbolDSG4
Full namedesmoglein 4
Aliases,CDGF13,CDHF13,LAH,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the desmoglein subgroup of desmosomal cadherins. The encoded protein is a transmembrane component in desmosomes and may play a role in cell-cell adhesion in epithelial cells. Mutations in the gene are associated with localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis and potentially in other skin disorders. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
