Background
The protein encoded by this gene is a component ofdesmosomes and of the epidermal cornified envelope inkeratinocytes. The N-terminal domain of this protein interacts withthe plasma membrane and its C-terminus interacts with intermediatefilaments. Through its rod domain, this protein forms complexeswith envoplakin. This protein may serve as a link between thecornified envelope and desmosomes as well as intermediatefilaments. AKT1/PKB, a protein kinase mediating a variety of cellgrowth and survival signaling processes, is reported to interactwith this protein, suggesting a possible role for this protein as alocalization signal in AKT1-mediated signaling.

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.
