Plakophilin 2 polyclonal, anti-human, mouse, rat

Quantity: 100 µg

Background:
Plakophilin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PKP2 gene. This gene encodes a member of the arm-repeat(armadillo) and plakophilin gene families. It is mapped to 12p11.21. PKP2 is a constituent of the desmosomal plaque in simple epithelia, some stratified epithelia, and some nonepithelial cells. PKP2 is also enriched in the karyoplasm of cells of various types, including those lacking desmosomes. Plakophilin proteins participate in linking cadherins to intermediate filaments in the cytoskeleton and this gene product may regulate the signaling activity of beta-catenin. PKP2 has been shown to interact with Desmoplakin, Plakoglobin and Desmoglein 1.
