Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

Desmoglein (Dsg1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein found in desmosome junctions. Desmosomes and adherens junctions are plasma membrane specializations involved in cell-cell adhesion. They serve as membrane anchorage domains for intermediate filaments and microfilaments, respectively. Actin microfilaments anchor at adherens junctions, which occur in many sizes, shapes, and positions. These junctions generally contain E- or N-Cadherin whose cytoplasmic region is associated with cytoplasmic proteins such as α- and β- catenin, vinculin, α-actinin, and radixin. Intermediate filaments (IFs) are anchored at desmosomes which contain desmosome-specific cadherin family members, known as desmocollin (Dsc) and desmoglein. These proteins associate with cytoplasmic proteins such as desmoplakin and plakoglobin (γ-Catenin). Plakoglobin is the only junctional protein found at both desmosomes and adherens junctions and, therefore, plays a crucial role in cell adhesion.
