~~'''~~Catenins~~'''~~ (CTN) are proteins which make complexes with cadherin. 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). β-CTN is a subunit of the cadherin complex. 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. The images at the left and at the right correspond to one representative Catenin, ''i.e.'' the crystal structure of full-length zebrafish β-catenin ([[2z6g]]).
