Delta-catenin, Neural plakophilin-related ARM-repeat protein, NPRAP, Neurojungin, GT24, GENE NAME: CTNND2
Catenin delta-2 functions as a transcriptional activator when bound to ZBTB33. It may also be involved in neuronal cell adhesion and tissue morphogenesis and integrity by regulating adhesion molecules. It is predominantly expressed in the brain and localises to the nucleus and cell junction. The unprocessed precursor has a length of 1225 amino acids and a predicted molecular weight of 132.7KDa. This protein is O-glycosylated. It is also phosporylated upon DNA damage. It belongs to the beta-catenin family and contains nine ARM repeats.
