PROTEIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a globular N terminus, interacting with plectin to regulate keratin organisation and epithelial migration (
  • a central alpha helical coiled coil (rod) domain
  • a C-terminal tail consisting of characteristic repeat sequences
  • that may stabilise the interaction of the EVPL C-terminus with intermediate filaments
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Ppl
    Homologene
    FAMILY plakin family of cell junction proteins
    CATEGORY structural protein
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton
    basic FUNCTION
  • may be linking the cornified envelope to desmosomes and intermediate filaments
  • can function in relocating protein kinase B into various cell compartments
  • component of desmosomes and the epidermal cornified envelope
  • first protein described to modify the capacity of the melanin-concentrating hormone-1 receptor to initiate signal transduction
  • cytoskeletal linker protein that participates in the assembly of epidermal cell cornified envelope and regulates keratin organisation in simple epithelial cells
  • with Involucrin, and EVPL, form the protein scaffold on which the cornified envelope assembles
  • arterial intima-enriched (AIE) gene, with periplakin, SPRR3, envoplakin, galectin 7, and plakoglobin that are functionally related in that they contribute to the stress properties of stratified epithelium
