About Pkp2

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including alpha-catenin binding activity; Cadherin binding activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cell-cell adhesion and heart development. Located in desmosome; intercalated disc; and intermediate filament. Is expressed in brain; cardiac muscle tissue; and telencephalon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 9. Orthologous to human PKP2 (plakophilin 2).
