Human Gene PKP1 (ENST00000263946.7) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens plakophilin 1 (PKP1), transcript variant 1b, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_000299)
RefSeq Summary (NM_000299): This 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 be involved in molecular recruitment and stabilization during desmosome formation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with the ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010].

-  Comments and Description Text from UniProtKB
  ID: PKP1_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Plakophilin-1; AltName: Full=Band 6 protein; Short=B6P;
FUNCTION: Seems to play a role in junctional plaques. Contributes to epidermal morphogenesis.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform 1: Nucleus. Cell junction, desmosome.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Isoform 2 is widely expressed. Isoform 1 is expressed in stratified squamous, complex, glandular duct and bladder epithelia.
DISEASE: Defects in PKP1 are the cause of ectodermal dysplasia- skin fragility syndrome (EDSFS) [MIM:604536]; also known as McGrath syndrome. Ectodermal dysplasia defines a heterogeneous group of disorders due to abnormal development of two or more ectodermal structures. EDSFS is characterized by features of both cutaneous fragility and congenital ectodermal dysplasia affecting abnormalities in other epithelia or tissues. Desmosomes in the skin are small and poorly formed with widening of keratinocyte intercellular spaces and perturbed desmosome/keratin intermediate filament interactions.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the beta-catenin family.
SIMILARITY: Contains 9 ARM repeats.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
