- A
plakin is a
protein that ****ociates with
junctional complexes and the cytoskeleton.
Types include desmoplakin, envoplakin, periplakin, plectin, bullous...
- All
desmoplakins have an N-terminal head, a C-tail
consisting of
three plakin repeats, and a glycine-serine-arginine rich
domain (GSR) at the C-end.[citation...
