About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for PKP2:

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)

Function: May play a role in junctional plaques

Defects in PKP2 are the cause of familial arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia type 9 (ARVD9)

[MIM:609040]; also known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy 9 (ARVC9). ARVD is an autosomal dominant

disease characterized by partial degeneration of the myocardium of the right ventricle, electrical instability, and

sudden death. It is clinically defined by electrocardiographic and angiographic criteria; pathologic findings,

replacement of ventricular myocardium with fatty and fibrous elements, preferentially involve the right ventricular

free wall
