Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a rare autoimmune blistering disease targeting various autoantigens, including the C-terminus of collagen XVII (COL17) and laminin332. Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune blistering disease, affecting the mucosae in 10-20% of cases. COL17, particularly, the non-collagenous (NC)16A domain is the pathogenic epitope for BP. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
