About CTNNA1

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including beta-catenin binding activity; cytoskeletal protein binding activity; and gamma-catenin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including gap junction assembly; gonad development; and response to estrogen. Located in acrosomal vesicle; adherens junction; and plasma membrane. Biomarker of esophageal Cancer and lung carcinoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in patterned macular dystrophy 2. Orthologous to human CTNNA1 (catenin alpha 1).
