- Description
- Predicted to enable cadherin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within desmosome organization and heart looping. Predicted to be located in desmosome. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including adherens junction; intercalated disc; and nucleus. Is expressed in epidermis; heart; and neuroepithelial cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 9. Orthologous to human PKP2 (plakophilin 2).
