Target Information

As basal cells of stratified squamous epithelia begin to migrate in response to wound healing, they lose their cell-substrate adhesion junctions, the hemidesmosomes. The hemidesmosome is an adhesion structure of the epidermal-dermal junction in keratinocytes. When keratinocytes migrate laterally or upward to differentiate they must control the formation and disintegration of the hemidesmosomes. The bullous pemphigoid antigen BPAG1 is a hemidesmosomal protein of the cutaneous basement membrane zone. The primary sequence deduced from full-length human cDNAs predicts that this molecule consists of a central rod region and flanking globular domains. A neuronal isoform, BPAG1n3, is the result of differential splicing of BPAG1. BPAG1n3 is distinguished by its initial 32 amino acid residues and by the absence of the amino-terminal half of the actin-binding domain.
