Dsg3 Exerts Function as a Cell Signaling RegulatorSeveral studies have implicated a key role for Dsg3 in mediating outside-in signaling (e.g. Src, p38MAPK, PKC, ERK, EGFR, plakoglobin, c-Myc, and Rho GTPases, etc.) involved in desmosome remodeling, cell proliferation, differentiation, migration or apoptosis, and thus validating that Dsg3 acts as a signaling molecule that has a major impact on tissue integrity and homeostasis [1]. Early studies have shown activation of phospholipase C signaling
