It recognizes a protein of 80-87kDa,identified as gamma-catenin. The catenins (,B,γ and δ) are ubiquitously expressed,cytoplasmic proteins that associate with E-cadherin at cellular junctions. Catenin/cadherin complexes play an important role in mediating cellular adhesion. T-catenin,also referred to as VR22,is a 895-amino acid protein that is most abundantly expressed in cardio-myocytes and in the peritubular myoid cells of the testis. T-catenin binds to E-catenin as well as to B-catenin,and it functions to inhibit Wnt signaling. CTNNA3,the gene that encodes for -T-catenin,is located on chromosome 10,and mutations in this gene show a strong correlation to late-onset Alzheimer s disease (LOAD) as well as to dilated cardiomyopathy.
