Preparation and Storage

Background: Desmocollin-1

DSC-1 (Desmocollin [Greek for "glue-that-binds"]-1) is an approximately 95-110 kDa member of the Ca⁺⁺-dependent cadherin family of adhesion molecules. It is found on the surface of stratified epithelial cells, including the spinous and granular layers of keratinized and nonkeratinized epithelia of the oral cavity and skin.
DSC‑1 expression is induced by DSG-1. It serves as a component of desmosomes, forming a linkage that unites adjacent cells with cytoplasmic intermediate filaments. In particular, homodimeric DSC-1 may form heterotypic interactions with DSG-1 in-trans, and bind to the cytoskeleton intracellularly via plakophilin-1. Mature mouse DSC-1 is a 760 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane glycoprotein (aa 135-691). The mature molecule contains a 557 aa extracellular region with five cadherin domains (aa 135-682), and a 172 aa cytoplasmic domain. There is one splice variant that shows an 11 aa substitution for aa 822-886. Over aa 135-691, mouse DSC‑1 shares 82% aa sequence identity with human DSC-1.
