Desmocollin 2 (DSC2) is a member of the desmocollin subfamily of the cadherin superfamily. The desmocollins (DSC1-3),along with the desmogleins (DSG1-4),are found primarily in epithelia and cardiac muscle where they constitute the adhesive proteins of the intercellular desmosome junctions and are required for cell adhesion and desmosome formation. Mutations in DSC2 gene are associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia-11.
