In the developing striated muscle cells it replaces vimentin, linked to the Z-disc. In the smooth muscle cells desmin is associated with cytoplasmic dense bodies and subplasmalemmal dense plaques. In myofibroblasts and vascular smooth muscle cells desmin is co-expressed with vimentin. Desmin is detected in most tumors of myogenic origin.
