Descriptor gamma catenina
Entry term(s) catenina gamma
placoglobina
placoglobina de unión
Scope note: Catenina multifuncional con una elevada homología con la CATENINA BETA. La catenina gamma se une a CADHERINAS y ayuda a unir sus colas citoplásmicas a la ACTINA del CITOESQUELETO por medio de la CATENINA ALFA. Se encuentra también en los DESMOSOMAS, en donde media en la unión entre las CADHERINAS DESMOSÓMICAS y la DESMOPLAQUINA.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://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.
