PKP3 is a desmosomal plaque protein with a known molecular mass of approximately 84 kDa. It localizes primarily to desmosomes and the nucleus where it contributes to cell-cell adhesion. PKP3 is commonly expressed in epithelial tissues where it helps maintain the structural integrity of epithelial sheets by binding to desmosomal cadherins.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nPlakophilin 3 plays a vital role in stabilizing junctional complexes by anchoring desmosomal components to the cytoskeleton. It usually forms a part of the desmosome a cellular structure composed of desmogleins desmocollins and plakoglobin. Through these interactions PKP3 contributes to the robust mechanical strength of tissue architecture and participates in signaling pathways that regulate cell proliferation and differentiation.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nPlakophilin 3 integrates into desmosome-related signaling pathways notably the intercellular adhesion pathways and the Wnt signaling pathway. PKP3 associates with proteins such as plakoglobin and β-catenin which are also involved in Wnt signaling influencing cell-cell contact and transcriptional regulation. These pathways are important for maintaining the balance between cell adhesion and cellular signaling ensuring appropriate responses to developmental and environmental cues.\u003cbr\u003e\nPlakophilin 3 shows a connection to certain forms of cancer including prostate cancer and squamous cell carcinoma. PKP3 expression levels have an association with tumor progression and metastasis. In prostate cancer for instance altered expression of desmosomal components such as PKP3 can influence cancer cell adhesion and mobility. PKP3 interacts with proteins like E-cadherin in these pathological states which can affect adhesion properties and promote malignancy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850382233769,"sku":"ab109441","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab109441","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
