    basic FUNCTION
  • mediating protein-protein interactions
  • playing a role in junctional plaques
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • component of the plaque protein of desmosomes of most simple and almost all stratified epithelia with the exception of hepatocytes and hepatocellular carcinoma cell
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding of PKP1/3 to FXR1 was RNA independent, and both PKP3 and FXR1 stabilized PKP2 mRNA
  • juxtamembrane region of DSC2 and PKP2, PKP3 are involved in the desmosomal plaque formation, possibly through the interaction between this region and plakophilins
  • PKP3 increases desmosome assembly, size and stability by increasing expression of DSC2
  • cell & other
