== Function == | |||
[[Catenin|Catenins]] (CTN) are proteins which make complexes with [[cadherin]].<ref>PMID:17005550</ref><br /> | |||
* '''α-CTN''' links cadherin (CDH) and α-actinin, it is encoded by 3 genes: '''α-E-CTN''' (epithelial), '''α-T-CTN''' (membrane bound), and '''α-N-CTN''' (neuronal).<br /> | |||
* '''β-CTN''' is a subunit of the cadherin complex. It contains [[Armadillo repeats]] which are a pair of helices forming hairpin structure.<br /> | |||
* '''γ-CTN''' (or '''plakoglobin''') is a component of desmosomes and contains armadillo repeats.<br /> | |||
* '''δ-CTN''' is expressed in the brain and contains 10 armadillo repeats.<br /> | |||
* '''p120 CTN''' is another member of the CTN family.<br /> | |||
