text:
Epiplakin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EPPK1 gene. It belongs to the family of plakin proteins and is found in the human epidermis. It consists of 13 domains which are all similar to the B domain located at the C terminus of the human epidermal and cardiac muscle protein desmoplakin. The domains in epiplakin range from 46 to 70% in their homology to this B domain in desmoplakin. It was first identified as an autoantigen in a person who suffers from a rare autoimmune skin disease
