Immunofluorescence analysis and expression level of desmosome proteins A. Western blot analysis of desmocollin-2 (DSC2), desmoglein-2 (DSG2), plakoglobin (PG), plakophilin-2 (PKP2), desmoplakin (DSP), connexin-43 (CX43), collagen 6, TGF-b, and caspase 3 p17 in membrane fraction of the hearts from 6-month-old WT and KI mice. There were no difference in the amount of proteins. B. Immunofluorescence analysis of DSC2, DSG2, PKG, PKP2, DSP, and CX43 in WT and KI mice hearts. There were no difference in the localization of proteins.
