Desmosomes in keratinocytes are the most important intercellular adhering junctions that provide structural strength for the epidermis. These junctions are connected directly with desmosomal cadherin proteins. Desmosomal cadherins are divided into four desmogleins (Dsgs), Dsg1–4, and three desmocoll...
