def: "The maintenance of a desmosome. A desmosome is a patch-like intercellular junctions found in vertebrate tissues, consisting of parallel zones of two cell membranes, separated by an interspace of 25-35 nm, and having dense fibrillar plaques in the subjacent cytoplasm." [GOC:hjd, ISBN:0198506732]
comment: Desmosomes link two cells together; hemidesmosomes attach one cell to the extracellular matrix.
