“…Recent studies have supported a role for raft association of desmosomal components in regulating adhesion. All desmosomal proteins have been shown to be raft-associated under normal cell culture conditions(Brennan, et al, 2012, Nava, et al, 2007, Resnik, et al, 2011, Roberts, et al, 2014, Stahley, et al, 2014). Functional rafts are also required for desmosome assembly and adhesion (Resnik, et al, 2011, Stahley, et al, 2014).…”
