PLEC (Plectin) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with PLEC include Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex, Ogna Type and Muscular Dystrophy, Limb-Girdle, Type 2Q. Among its related pathways are Cytoskeleton remodeling Neurofilaments and Collagen chain trimerization. PLEC is a prominent member of an important family of structurally and in part functionally related proteins, termed plakins or cytolinkers, that are capable of interlinking different elements of the cytoskeleton.
