List of cutaneous conditions caused by problems with junctional proteins

Mutations of proteins that hold the cells of the skin together can cause disease. Autoantibodies against proteins that hold the cells of the skin together can also cause disease.

Conditions caused by mutations in or antibodies against junctional proteins found within the epidermis of the human integumentary system.

Junctional protein	Condition(s)
Desmocollin 1	Subcorneal pustular dermatosis type of IgA pemphigus
Desmocollin 2	Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD)
Desmoglein 1	Striate palmoplantar keratoderma Pemphigus foliaceous[1] Bullous impetigo Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome Fogo selvagem Pemphigus erythematosus Mucocutaneous pemphigus vulgaris
Desmoglein 2	ARVD
Desmoglein 3	Mucosal pemphigus vulgaris Pemphigus vegetans Mucocutaneous pemphigus vulgaris[2]
Desmoglein 4	Localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis Autosomal recessive monilethrix
Desmoplakin	Striate palmoplantar keratoderma Carvajal syndrome Skin fragility–wooly hair syndrome Lethal acantholytic epidermolysis bullosa ARVD Paraneoplastic pemphigus Stevens–Johnson syndrome
Plakoglobin	Naxos disease Striate palmoplantar keratoderma ARVD
Plakophilin 1	Ectodermal dysplasia–skin fragility syndrome
