It contains Armadillo repeats which are a pair of helices forming hairpin structure. γ-CTN (or plakoglobin) is a component of desmosomes and contains armadillo repeats. δ-CTN is expressed in the brain and contains 10 armadillo repeats. p120 CTN is another member of the CTN family. 3D Structures of Catenin Catenin 3D structures
