PKP2

PKP2

A gene on chromosome 12p11 that encodes plakophilin 2, which is thought to play a role in junctional plaques and contribute to epidermal morphogenesis.

Molecular pathology
Defects in PKP2 cause arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia type 9.

These loci harbored two gap junction-related genes, plakophilin 2 (PKP2) and cortactin-binding protein 2 Nterminal like (CTTNBP2NL), and two neuroendocrine-related genes, SET domain containing 6 (SETD6) and calcium channel, voltage-dependent, beta 2 subunit (CACNB2).
