Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

| Function | Regulates focal adhesion turnover resulting in changes in focal adhesion size, cell adhesion and cell spreading, potentially via transcriptional modulation of beta-integrins (PubMed:23884246). Required to maintain gingival epithelial barrier function (PubMed:34368962). Required for cardiac sodium current propagation and electrical synchrony in cardiac myocytes, via ANK3 stabilization and modulation of SCN5A/Nav1.5 localization to cell-cell junctions (By similarity). Required for the formation of desmosome cell junctions in cardiomyocytes, thereby required for the correct formation of the heart, specifically trabeculation and formation of the atria walls (By similarity). Loss of desmosome cell junctions leads to mis-localization of DSP and DSG2 resulting in disruption of cell-cell adhesion and disordered intermediate filaments (By similarity). Modulates profibrotic gene expression in cardiomyocytes via regulation of DSP expression and subsequent activation of downstream TGFB1 and MAPK14/p38 MAPK signaling (By similarity). Required for mitochondrial function, nuclear envelope integrity and positive regulation of SIRT3 transcription via maintaining DES localization at its nuclear envelope and cell tip anchoring points, and thereby preserving regulation of the transcriptional program (PubMed:35959657). Maintenance of nuclear envelope integrity protects against DNA damage and transcriptional dysregulation of genes, especially those involved in the electron transport chain, thereby preserving mitochondrial function and protecting against superoxide radical anion generation (PubMed:35959657). May play a role in junctional plaques (PubMed:22781308). Involved in the inhibition of viral infection by influenza A viruses (IAV) (PubMed:28169297). Acts as a host restriction factor for IAV viral propagation, potentially via disrupting the interaction of IAV polymerase complex proteins (PubMed:28169297). |
| Cellular Location | Nucleus. Cell junction, desmosome. Cell junction. Cytoplasm Note=Colocalizes with CTNNA3 and SCN5A/Nav1.5 at intercalated disks in the heart. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9CQ73} |
| Tissue Location | Detected in heart right ventricle (at protein level). Expressed in gingival epithelial, endothelial and fibroblast cells (at protein level) (PubMed:34368962). Faintly expressed in tracheal epithelial cells (at protein level) (PubMed:28169297). Widely expressed. Found at desmosomal plaques in simple and stratified epithelia and in non-epithelial tissues such as myocardium and lymph node follicles. In most stratified epithelia found in the desmosomes of the basal cell layer and seems to be absent from suprabasal strata |

Background
Plakophilin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PKP2 gene. This gene encodes a member of the arm-repeat(armadillo) and plakophilin gene families. It is mapped to 12p11.21. PKP2 is a constituent of the desmosomal plaque in simple epithelia, some stratified epithelia, and some nonepithelial cells. PKP2 is also enriched in the karyoplasm of cells of various types, including those lacking desmosomes. Plakophilin proteins participate in linking cadherins to intermediate filaments in the cytoskeleton and this gene product may regulate the signaling activity of beta-catenin. PKP2 has been shown to interact with Desmoplakin, Plakoglobin and Desmoglein 1.
