Summary: Predicted to enable protein kinase C binding activity; scaffold protein binding activity; and structural molecule activity. Involved in several processes, including desmosome organization; intermediate filament organization; and ventricular compact myocardium morphogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adherens junction organization; intermediate filament cytoskeleton organization; and skin development. Located in several cellular components, including adherens junction; basolateral plasma membrane; and intercalated disc. Colocalizes with intermediate filament. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; heart; and sensory organ. Used to study Carvajal syndrome and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 8. 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]

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.
