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. May play a crucial role in cell differentiation.

Subunit structure

Binds MLLT4 and F-actin By similarity. Interacts directly with PSEN1 and CTNNB1 to form part of the PSEN1/cadherin/catenin adhesion complex. Interacts with ARHGAP21 and with JUB.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasmcytoskeleton. Cell junctionadherens junction. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell junction. Note: Found at cell-cell boundaries and probably at cell-matrix boundaries.

Tissue specificity

Expressed ubiquitously in normal tissues.

Post-translational modification

Sumoylated. Ref.13

Involvement in disease

Abnormalities of alpha-catenin are involved in the process of cancer invasion and metastasis.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the vinculin/alpha-catenin family.

Alternative products

This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: P35221-1)
