Plakophilin are proteins of the cytoskeleton. They are involved in regulating the adhesive activity of cadherin.

The three types of plakophilin proteins found in humans are PKP1, PKP2, and PKP3; all exhibiting dual localization in the nucleus as well as desmosomes.

Genes include:

• PKP1
• PKP2
• PKP3
