Term Information

Accession: GO:0030057
Name: desmosome
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: macula adherens, spot desmosome
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A cell-cell junction in which: on the cytoplasmic surface of each interacting plasma membrane is a dense plaque composed of a mixture of intracellular anchor proteins; a bundle of keratin intermediate filaments is attached to the surface of each plaque; transmembrane adhesion proteins of the cadherin family bind to the plaques and interact through their extracellular domains to hold the adjacent membranes together by a Ca2+-dependent mechanism.
