abstract：RATIONALE:Plakophilin-2 (PKP2) is an essential component of the cardiac desmosome. Recent data show that it interacts with other molecules of the intercalated disc. Separate studies show preferential localization of the voltage-gated sodium channel (Na(V)1.5) to this region. OBJECTIVE:To establish the association of P...
