Organism

Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly) [Complete proteome]

Taxonomic identifier

7227 [NCBI]

Taxonomic lineage

Eukaryota › Metazoa › Arthropoda › Hexapoda › Insecta › Pterygota › Neoptera › Endopterygota › Diptera › Brachycera › Muscomorpha › Ephydroidea › Drosophilidae › Drosophila › Sophophora

Protein attributes

Sequence length	917 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Associates with the cytoplasmic domain of a variety of cadherins. The association of catenins to cadherins produces a complex which is linked to the actin filament network, and which seems to be of primary importance for cadherins cell-adhesion properties. Can associate with the armadillo protein.
Subcellular location	Cytoplasm › cytoskeleton By similarity. Cell junction › adherens junction By similarity. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side By similarity. Cell junction. Note: Found only at cell-cell boundaries.
Developmental stage	Present at all stages, but reached the highest levels during early to mid-embryogenesis.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the vinculin/alpha-catenin family.
