Function
A component of desmosome cell-cell junctions which are required for positive regulation of cellular adhesion. Required for cell-cell adhesion in the epidermis, as a result required for the maintenance of the dermal cohesion and the dermal barrier function. Required for cell-cell adhesion of epithelial cell layers surrounding the telogen hair club, as a result plays an important role in telogen hair shaft anchorage.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Single-pass type I membrane protein); Cell junction, desmosome; Cytoplasm
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in the basal layers of epidermal stratified epithelia from birth (at protein level)
