Abstract excerpt
We have established an iPSC cell line carrying mutations in Plakophillin 2 (PKP2) and the A-kinase anchor protein 9 (AKAP9). Plakophilin 2 is an important protein of desmosomes, facilitating cell attachment and tissue strength. Its absence/mutation is associated with impaired cell adhesion and intracellular processes including calcium cycling and actin rearrangement. AKAP9, together with potassium channels and...
