α-Catenin (alpha-catenin) functions as the primary protein link between cadherins and the actin cytoskeleton. It has been reported that the actin binding...

identified became known as α-catenin and β-catenin. α-Catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind filamentous actin (F-actin). β-Catenin binds directly to...

Catenin beta-1, also known as β-catenin (beta-catenin), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CTNNB1 gene. β-Catenin is a dual function protein...

the actomyosin cytoskeleton. p120-catenin controls E-cadherin membrane localization, while β-catenin and α-catenin provide the link that connect AJs to...

junctions. α-catenin and β-catenin are integral components of adherens junctions, which bind together to produce cadherin-α-catenin-β-catenin complexes...

intracellular catenin proteins, specifically the three different subtypes, α-catenins, β-catenins, and p120ctn family catenins. β-catenins and p120ctns...

Catenin alpha-3, also known as αT-catenin, is a α-catenin protein that in humans is encoded by the CTNNA3 gene. Janssens B, Goossens S, Staes K, Gilbert...

catenin) binds the juxtamembrane region of the cadherin. γ-catenin or gamma-catenin (plakoglobin) binds the catenin-binding region of the cadherin. α-catenin...

Catenin alpha-2, also known as αN-catenin, is a type of α-catenin protein that in humans is encoded by the CTNNA2 gene. Claverie JM, Hardelin JP, Legouis...
