| The catenins (a, b and g) are ubiquitously expressed, cytoplasmic proteins associated with E-cadherin at cellular junctions. b-catenin also binds to N-cadherin and coimmunoprecipitates with APC. Cadherin/catenin complexes are linked to the cytoskeleton via a direct association between a-actinin and a-catenin. Increased tyrosine phosphorylation can disrupt catenin-cadherin complexes, influencing cellular adhesion. |
