2. Figure 1
Structure of desmosomal cadherins (desmoglein and the two splice forms of desmocollin) and the classical cadherin E-cadherin. EC1–EC4, four extracellular cadherin-typical repeats; EA, extracellular anchor domain; TM, transmembrane domain; IA, intracellular anchor domain; ICS, intracellular cadherinspecific domain. Desmoglein contains an additional intracellular domain: IPL, proline-rich linker domain; RUD, repeating unit domain; DTD, desmoglein-specific terminal domain.
