Abstract
Desmin is a class III intermediate filament protein and encoded by the desmin gene (DES), which localizes to chromosome 2q35, consists of 9 exons and spans about 8.4 kb. The mature protein consists of 470 amino acids (about 53,536 Da) which assemble into a head, alpha helical rod and tail domain (Fig. 1). While DES is probably mainly expressed in striated and smooth muscle, recent data obtained using powerful high throughput technologies...
