Description

Predicted to have structural molecule activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including intermediate filament cytoskeleton organization; skin development; and wound healing. Predicted to colocalize with intermediate filament. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Carvajal syndrome; arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy; arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 8; and dilated cardiomyopathy. Is expressed in several structures, including EVL; digestive system; ectoderm; epidermis; and pectoral fin. Orthologous to human DSP (desmoplakin).
