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 gene product may regulate the signaling activity of beta-catenin. Two alternately spliced transcripts encoding two protein isoforms have been identified. A processed pseudogene with high similarity to this locus has been mapped to chromosome 12p13. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
plakophilin 2: May play a role in junctional plaques. Defects in PKP2 are the cause of familial arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia type 9 (ARVD9); also known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy 9 (ARVC9). ARVD is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by partial degeneration of the myocardium of the right ventricle, electrical instability, and sudden death. It is clinically defined by electrocardiographic and angiographic criteria; pathologic findings, replacement of ventricular myocardium with fatty and fibrous elements, preferentially involve the right ventricular free wall. Belongs to the beta-catenin family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Hamster PKP2 pkp2 (Catalog #AAA035977) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA035977 ELISA Kit recognizes Hamster PKP2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Plakophilin 2, ELISA Kit" 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
