Activity

Measured by the ability of the immobilized protein to support the adhesion of BUD‑8 human fibroblast cells.
When 3 x 104 cells are added to recombinant human Desmoglein‑2 coated plates (10 μg/mL, 100 μL/well), approximately 50%‑80% will adhere after 1 hour at 37°C.  Optimal dilutions should be determined by each laboratory for each application.

Background: Desmoglein-2

Desmoglein-2 (DSG2) is a 160 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein in the cadherin family of calcium dependent adhesion molecules. It is a major protein component of desmosomal contacts between epithelial cells (1, 2). Mature human Desmoglein-2 consists of a 560 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with four cadherin domains, a 25 aa transmembrane segment, and a 484 aa cytoplasmic domain with six desmoglein repeats (3). Within the ECD, human Desmoglein-2 shares 81% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat Desmoglein-2. A 60 kDa ECD fragment can be proteolytically shed, and this is enhanced by EGF R activation (4‑6). The cytoplasmic domain is cleaved during apoptosis, leaving the transmembrane segment and ECD as a cell-associated fragment (7). Desmoglein-2 is widely expressed in epithelia and is required for maintenance of the epithelial barrier (1, 2, 8). It can be either up- or down-regulated in a variety of carcinomas during tumor progression (9). Desmoglein-2 also functions as a cell adhesion receptor for several adenovirus serotypes (10). This binding disrupts intercellular junctions between epithelial cells and promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) (10). Mutations in Desmoglein-2 cause cardiac dysfunction typical of arrythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) (11).
