Gene information for PKP3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID11187
Official gene symbolPKP3
Full nameplakophilin 3
Aliases,-,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the arm-repeat (armadillo) and plakophilin gene families. Plakophilin proteins contain numerous armadillo repeats, localize to cell desmosomes and nuclei, and participate in linking cadherins to intermediate filaments in the cytoskeleton. This protein may act in cellular desmosome-dependent adhesion and signaling pathways. [provided by RefSeq]
