The killer protein with desmosomes (glue that holds cells together), respectively, involved in breast cancer is clear and provides a new potential target for future treatment, a new study found. Desmosomes attaching adjacent cells together, and these collections are small proteins that are responsible for the mechanical strength of organs and tissues in the body. Desmosomes also believed to help suppress cancer are included. Researchers at Stanford University, UC Berkeley and UC Davis have discovered that the killer protein associated with desmosomes of breast epithelial cells. Dr. Laura Attardi, who led the study, described how the loss of Perp the normal functioning of the affected breast tissue in mice. Perp deficiency causes abnormalities in protein expression in mammary epithelial cells desmosomal" said Dr. Attardi.
