PKP3

PKP3, also known as plakophilin-3, is a crucial protein in the cell. Commonly, it's also called PKP-3. It participates in cell adhesion by interacting with desmosomal cadherins, thus maintaining tissue integrity. This protein is involved in the Wnt signaling pathway, which is vital for cell proliferation and differentiation.
Abnormalities in PKP3 have been linked to certain skin diseases and cardiomyopathies. In drug development, research is focusing on targeting PKP3 to modulate its function, aiming to treat related disorders. However, more in - depth studies are needed to fully understand its potential in therapeutic applications.
