Circulating auto-antibodies in the human body can target normal parts of the skin leading to disease. This is a list of antigens in the skin that may become targets of circulating auto-antibodies leading to the various types of pemphigus.

Drug-induced pemphigus | IgG | Desmoglein 3 Desmoglein 1 | 130 160 |
Subcorneal pustular dermatosis type of IgA pemphigus | IgA1 | Desmocollin 1 | 110/100 |
Intraepidermal neutrophilic type of IgA pemphigus | IgA1 | Unknown | |
Pemphigus erythematosus (Senear–Usher syndrome)[nb 3] | IgG | Desmoglein 1 | 160 |

Footnotes
- ↑ Notably not BPAG2
- ↑ Desmoplakin I and II autoantibodies have also been reported in Stevens–Johnson syndrome
- ↑ Parentheticals are used to indicate other names by which a condition is known. If there are multiple alternative names for a condition, they are separated by commas within the parenthetical.
- 1 2 Pemphigus vegetans of Hallopeau represents a mild form of pemphigus vegetans. Pemphigus vegetans of Neumann represents a severe form of pemphigus vegetans.
