CTTN is overexpressed in breast cancer and squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. The cortactin is localized in the cytoplasm and in areas of the cell-substratum contacts. CTTN has two roles: (1) regulating the interactions between components of adherens-type junctions and (2) organizing the cytoskeleton and cell adhesion structures of epithelia and carcinoma cells. During apoptosis, the encoded protein is degraded in a caspase-dependent manner. The aberrant regulation of this gene contributes to tumor cell invasion and metastasis. Three splice variants that encode different isoforms have been identified for this gene. 蛋白别名为：CTTN; EMS1; Src substrate cortactin; Amplaxin; Oncogene EMS1;基因ID为：2017；蛋白质ID:Q14247
