Interaction of periplakin and envoplakin with intermediate filaments
14 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
Periplakin is a component of desmosomes and the epidermal cornified envelope. Its N-terminal domain interacts with the plasma membrane; it heterodimerises with envoplakin via its rod domain; and its C-terminus interacts with intermediate filaments. Periplakin has the shortest C-terminus of the plakin family, comprising only the linker domain found in all conventional plakins. By transient transfection of COS7...
