Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune disorder in humans in which antibodies are produced against the cadherins, is this true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Test question?: Basically yes, though the cadherins are the principal targets in pemphigus foleaceus, which is common in Central America, and desmogleins in the more familiar forms we see here in the US http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23725016
