Summaries for PKP2 Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for PKP2 Gene

  • This gene encodes a member of the arm-repeat (armadillo) and plakophilin gene families. Plakophilin proteins contain numerous armadillo repeats, localize to cell desmosomes and nuclei, and participate in linking cadherins to intermediate filaments in the cytoskeleton. This gene product may regulate the signaling activity of beta-catenin. Two alternately spliced transcripts encoding two protein isoforms have been identified. A processed pseudogene with high similarity to this locus has been mapped to chromosome 12p13. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

GeneCards Summary for PKP2 Gene

PKP2 (Plakophilin 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with PKP2 include arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 9 and familial isolated arrhythmogenic ventricular dysplasia, right dominant form. Among its related pathways are Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and Cytoskeleton remodeling Neurofilaments. GO annotations related to this gene include binding and protein kinase C binding. An important paralog of this gene is CTNND1.

Tissue specificity: Detected in heart right ventricle (at protein level). Widely expressed. Found at desmosomal plaques in simple and stratified epithelia and in non-epithelial tissues such as myocardium and lymph node follicles. In most stratified epithelia found in the desmosomes of the basal cell layer and seems to be absent from suprabasal strata.
