Origin and Continuity of Desmosomes

  • Chapter
Origin and Continuity of Cell Organelles

Part of the book series: Results and Problems in Cell Differentiation ((RESULTS,volume 2))

Abstract

The problems of desmosome formation and maintenance are different from those of the other cell components discussed in this volume. Desmosomes, and other cell attachment devices, are not organelles but rather are modifications of the cell periphery. No specific chemical or ultrastructural components have been identified in desmosomes which are not common to the rest of the peripheral cytoplasm and membrane of the cell. The problem of desmosome origin, therefore, seems to be one of localization and organization of ubiquitous components, a process less well understood than the reproduction of true organelles.
