What is the function of this protein?
Major high molecular weight protein of desmosomes.  Regulates profibrotic gene expression in cardiomyocytes via activation of the MAPK14/p38 MAPK signaling cascade and increase in TGFB1 protein abundance (By similarity).
What are the official names of this protein?
Desmoplakin, DP, 250/210 kDa paraneoplastic pemphigus antigen.
What is the protein family that this protein belongs to?
Belongs to the plakin or cytolinker family.
What are the subcellular locations of this protein?
Cell junction, desmosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell membrane. Note=Innermost portion of the desmosomal plaque. Colocalizes with epidermal KRT5-KRT14 and simple KRT8-KRT18 keratins and VIM intermediate filaments network (PubMed:12802069). Localizes at the intercalated disk in cardiomyocytes (By similarity).
