Invitrogen™ PKP2 Monoclonal Antibody (8H6)

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ MA518081

Catalog No. PIMA518081

Description

This target has a predicted molecular weight of 97 kDa.

Plakophilins 1, 2, 3 and 4 (PKP1-4) influence development and participate in linking cadherins to cytoskeletal intermediate filaments. Plakophilins 1-4 contain arm-repeat (armadillo) domains and localize to nuclei and cell desmosomes (cell-cell junctions found in suprabasal layers of stratifying epithelia that undergo mechanical stress). Plakophilin 1 mediates increases in desmosomal protein content, desmosome assembly and regulation of cell migration. Plakophilin 2 is important for desmosome assembly and is an essential morphogenic factor and architectural component of the heart. Plakophilin 4 is a component of desmosomal adhesion plaques that regulates junctional plaque organization and cadherin function.
