Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The autoimmune response to desmosomes or desmosomal components leads to the formation of autoantibodies that attack the desmosomes, causing the skin cells to separate and blister, leading to a condition known as pemphigus. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the connective tissues, syndecan is a type of transmembrane proteoglycan, junctional epidermolysis bullosa is a genetic disorder that affects the skin and mucous membranes, and listeriosis is a bacterial infection caused by Listeria monocytogenes.
