Transcriptomic Coupling of PKP2 With Inflammatory and Immune Pathways Endogenous to Adult Cardiac Myocytes
18 Jan 2021
Abstract excerpt
Plakophilin-2 (PKP2) is classically defined as a component of the desmosome. Besides its role in cell–cell adhesion, PKP2 can modulate transcription through intracellular signals initiated at the site of cell–cell contact. Mutations in PKP2 associate with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Recent data demonstrate that inflammation plays a key role in disease progression; other results show an...
