desmosome assembly Gene Set

Dataset GO Biological Process Annotations 2025
Category structural or functional annotations
Type biological process
Description A cellular process that results in the aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a desmosome. A desmosome is a patch-like intercellular junction found in vertebrate tissues, consisting of parallel zones of two cell membranes, separated by an space of 25-35 nm, and having dense fibrillar plaques in the subjacent cytoplasm.
