Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody to Desmin

Desmin a class~III intermediate filaments found in muscle cells. In adult striated muscle they form a fibrous network connecting myofibrils to each other and to the plasma membrane from the periphery of the Z~line structures. Mutations in this gene are associated with desmin~related myopathy, a familial cardiac and skeletal myopathy (CSM), and with distal myopathies.
