Plakoglobin (γ-catenin), a member of the Armadillo proteins, plays important roles in cell adhesion with α-catenin and β-catenin, is involved in Wnt signaling, and is translocated into the nucleus and binds LEF1. Plakoglobin is a major cytoplasmic component of both desmosomes and adherens junctions, and is the only known constituent common to submembranous plaques in both of these structures, which are located at the intercalated disc (ICD) of cardiomyocytes. Plakoglobin links cadherins to the actin cytoskeleton. Mutations in plakoglobin are associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia and Pemphigus vulgaris.详情请登录EterLife官网:http://www.eterlife.com/
