Plakophilin-2 is 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.
