Catenin beta is part of a complex of proteins that constitute adherens junctions (AJs).
AJs are necessary for the creation and maintenance of epithelial cell layers by regulating cell growth and adhesion between cells.
Catenin beta also anchors the actin cytoskeleton and may be responsible for transmitting the contact inhibition signal that causes cells to stop dividing once the epithelial sheet is complete.
Catenin beta binds to the product of the APC gene, which is mutated in adenomatous polyposis of the colon.
Mutations in catenin beta are a cause of colorectal cancer, pilomatrixoma (PTR), medulloblastoma (MDB) and ovarian cancer.
Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for catenin beta.
