|
| Function |
Component of intercellular desmosome junctions. Involved in the interaction of plaque proteins and intermediate filaments mediating cell-cell adhesion. Coordinates the transition from proliferation to differentiation in hair follicle keratinocytes (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Cell junction, desmosome {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in skin, testis and prostate; less in salivary gland. In scalp follicles, present in the inner root sheath (IRS) and all layers of the matrix and precortex. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12648213, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12705872}.
