Summary: Predicted to enable protein kinase C binding activity; scaffold protein binding activity; and structural molecule activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including intermediate filament organization; regulation of heart contraction; and ventricular compact myocardium morphogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within adherens junction organization; desmosome organization; and epithelial cell-cell adhesion. Located in desmosome and fascia adherens. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Carvajal syndrome; arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy; arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 8; dilated cardiomyopathy; and keratosis palmoplantaris striata 2. Orthologous to human DSP (desmoplakin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?

Desmoplakin prevents lysosomal-mediated degradation of Cx43. Desmoplakin loss triggered robust activation of ERK1/2-MAPK and increased phosphorylation of S279/282 of Cx43, which signals clathrin-mediated internalization and subsequent lysosomal degradation of Cx43.
Title: Desmoplakin maintains gap junctions by inhibiting Ras/MAPK and lysosomal degradation of connexin-43.
These data indicate that DSP is an important protein for cell-cell interactions and affects a variety of cellular functions, including cytokine secretion.
Title: Desmoplakin is important for proper cardiac cell-cell interactions.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
