- Description
- Predicted to have cadherin binding activity. Involved in desmosome organization and heart looping. Predicted to localize to several cellular components, including adherens junction; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 9. Is expressed in epidermis; heart; and neuroepithelial cell. Orthologous to human PKP2 (plakophilin 2).
