General annotation (Comments)

Function

May function as a linker between cadherin adhesion receptors and the cytoskeleton to regulate cell-cell adhesion and differentiation in the nervous system. Regulates morphological plasticity of synapses and cerebellar and hippocampal lamination during development. Functions in the control of startle modulation By similarity.

Subunit structure

Interacts with ZNF639. Ref.8

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm. Cytoplasmcytoskeleton By similarity. Cell junctionadherens junction By similarity. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side By similarity. Cell projectionaxon By similarity. Note: Recruited to the nucleus upon ZNF639 overexpression.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the vinculin/alpha-catenin family.
