MeSH Heading: gamma Catenin
Tree Number(s): D12.776.091.500; D12.776.220.145.750
Unique ID: D051185
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D051185
Scope Note: A multi-functional catenin that is highly homologous to BETA CATENIN. Gamma catenin binds CADHERINS and helps link their cytoplasmic tails to ACTIN in the CYTOSKELETON via ALPHA CATENIN. It is also found in DESMOSOMES where it mediates the link between DESMOSOMAL CADHERINS and DESMOPLAKIN.
Entry Term(s): Desmoplakin III; Junction Plakoglobin; Junctional Plakoglobin; Plakoglobin; gamma-Catenin
