NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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]
Uniprot Description
plakophilin 1: Seems to play a role in junctional plaques. Contributes to epidermal morphogenesis. Defects in PKP1 are the cause of ectodermal dysplasia- skin fragility syndrome (EDSFS); 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. Belongs to the beta-catenin family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The PKP1 pkp1 (Catalog #AAA375232) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Mouse Anti-Plakophilin 1 [19F10] reacts with Mouse, Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Plakophilin 1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Formalin/Paraffin, Western Blot (WB), Immunoprecipitation (IP). Optimal antibody dilution should be determined by titration, however as a guideline try; WB: 1/100. Predicted molecular weight: 81 kDa. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PKP1 pkp1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Plakophilin 1, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
