Target Details for Desmin

Target: Desmin (DES)

Alternative Name: DES

Background:

Background Information: DES is a muscle-specific class III intermediate filament. Homopolymers of this protein form a stable intracytoplasmic filamentous network connecting myofibrils to each other and to the plasma membrane. Mutations in its gene are associated with desmin-related myopathy, a familial cardiac and skeletal myopathy (CSM), and with distal myopathies.This gene encodes a muscle-specific class III intermediate filament.
