Desmin Antibody
DES, also called desmin, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DES gene, and this gene is mapped to 2q35. DES is the muscle-specific member of the intermediate filament (IF) protein family. It is one of the earliest myogenic markers, both in heart and somites, and is expressed in satellite stem cells and replicating myoblasts. DES is very important in muscle cell architecture and structure since it connects many components of the cytoplasm. It may be also play an important role in mitochondria function. What�s more, DES provides attachments between the terminal Z disc and membrane-associated proteins to form a force-transmitting system that parallels the thin filaments at myotendinous junctions.
