    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with recombinant protein specific to the amino terminus of human desmoplakin protein.

    Background

    Desmosomes are a class of intracellular junctions that tightly link adjacent cells in mechanically stressed tissues such as the epithelium and myocardium (1). They derive their characteristic strength from the protein desmoplakin, which acts as a tether by binding the cytoplasmic component of the desmosome at its N-terminus (2) while its C-terminus is anchored to the intermediate-filament cytoskeleton (3). This association mitigates the impact of mechanical forces on the desmosome by distributing them throughout the cytoskeleton and tissue (4). Desmoplakin is essential for normal desmosomal adhesion (5); defects can result in pathologies that include cardiomyopathy (6), keratoderma (7), or the skin blistering disease Epidermolysis bullosa (8).
