| Primary Identifier | MGI:99499 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 13512 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell-cell adhesion. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell adhesion. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane and spot adherens junction. Predicted to be active in desmosome. Is expressed in several structures, including epithelium and skin. Used to study pemphigus vulgaris. Orthologous to human DSG3 (desmoglein 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants display runting from decreased food intake due to oropharyngeal epithelial lesions, blisters around snout and eyes, hair loss by weaning, and hair regrowth with bald patches throughout life.
