D003094	Collagen	A polypeptide substance comprising about one third of the total protein in mammalian organisms. It is the main constituent of SKIN; CONNECTIVE TISSUE; and the organic substance of bones (BONE AND BONES) and teeth (TOOTH).

D003598	Cytoskeletal Proteins	Major constituent of the cytoskeleton found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. They form a flexible framework for the cell, provide attachment points for organelles and formed bodies, and make communication between parts of the cell possible.	Proteins, Cytoskeletal
D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000071821	Dystonin	A plakin characterized by repeat sequences homologous to SPECTRIN and PLECTIN and C-terminal EF HAND MOTIFS. It functions as an integrator of INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS, ACTIN and MICROTUBULES in cytoskeleton networks. It is required for anchoring intermediate filaments to the actin cytoskeleton in neural and muscle cells as well as anchoring KERATIN-containing intermediate filaments to HEMIDESMOSOMES in EPITHELIAL CELLS.	230 kDa Bullous Pemphigoid Antigen,230-240 kDa Bullous Pemphigoid Antigen,Bullous Pemphigoid Antigen 1,Hemidesmosomal Plaque Protein,230 240 kDa Bullous Pemphigoid Antigen
D000097805	Collagen Type XVII	A 220 kDa non-fibrillar collagen and basement membrane component. It is involved in healing wounds of the EPITHELIUM, CORNEAL.	180 kDa Bullous Pemphigoid Autoantigen,BP180 Antigen,BP180 Autoantigen,Bullous Pemphigoid Autoantigen, BP180,Collagen Alpha-1(XVII) Chain,Collagen XVII,Collagen, Type XVII, Alpha 1 Chain,Type XVII Collagen
D001323	Autoantibodies	Antibodies that react with self-antigens (AUTOANTIGENS) of the organism that produced them.	Autoantibody
D001324	Autoantigens	Endogenous tissue constituents with the ability to interact with AUTOANTIBODIES and cause an immune response.	Autoantigen,Autologous Antigen,Autologous Antigens,Self-Antigen,Self-Antigens,Antigen, Autologous,Antigens, Autologous,Self Antigen,Self Antigens
