		Technical Data
D3221-82F	DSG1, ID (Desmoglein-1, Cadherin Family Member 4, Desmosomal Glycoprotein 1, DG1, DGI, Pemphigus Foliaceus Antigen, CDHF4)

Description:
Desmosomes are a type of intercellular junction between epithelial, myocardial, and certain other cell types. Desmoglein 1 is a calcium-binding transmembrane glycoprotein component of desmosomes in vertebrate epithelial cells. Currently, three desmoglein isoforms have been identified: DSG1, DSG2 and DSG3; all members of the cadherin cell adhesion molecule family. DSG1 has been identified as the autoantigen of the autoimmune skin blistering disease pemphigus foliaceus.

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
ELISA: 1:32,000
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin fixed paraffin embedded): 3.75ug/ml
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
