Plakophilin

Plakophilin are proteins of the cytoskeleton.[1] They are involved in regulating the adhesive activity of cadherin.[2]

The three types of plakophilin proteins found in humans are PKP1, PKP2, and PKP3; all exhibiting dual localization in the nucleus as well as desmosomes.[3][4]

Genes include:
