Abstract excerpt
Delta-catenin belongs to the p120-catenin (p120(ctn)) protein family, which is characterized by ten, characteristically spaced Armadillo repeats that bind to the juxtamembrane segment of the classical cadherins. Delta-catenin is the only member of this family that is expressed specifically in neurons, where it binds to PDZ domain proteins in the post-synaptic compartment. As a component of both adherens and...
