Protein Coding Gene : Pkp2 plakophilin 2

Primary Identifier  MGI:1914701 Organism  mouse, laboratory
Chromosome  16 NCBI Gene Number  67451
Mgi Type  protein coding gene
description  FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)

Predicted to enable several functions, including alpha-catenin binding activity; cadherin binding activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Involved in maintenance of protein localization at cell tip. Acts upstream of or within cell-cell adhesion and heart development. Located in desmosome; intercalated disc; and intermediate filament. Is expressed in brain; cardiac muscle tissue; and telencephalon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 9. Orthologous to human PKP2 (plakophilin 2).
PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display embryonic lethality with impaired heart formation, hemopericardium, and hemoperitoneum. [provided by MGI curators]
