Desmin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DES gene. Desmin is a type III intermediate filament found near the Z line in sarcomeres. It was first described in 1976, first purified in 1977, the gene was cloned in 1989, and the first knockout mouse was created in 1996. Desmin is only expressed in vertebrates, however homologous proteins ar...
