Full name: catenin delta 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: BCDS2; CAS; CTNND; P120CAS; P120CTN; p120; p120(CAS); p120(CTN)

Summary: This gene encodes a member of the Armadillo protein family, which function in adhesion between cells and signal transduction. Multiple translation initiation codons and alternative splicing result in many different isoforms being translated. Not all of the full-length natures of the described transcript variants have been determined. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the neighboring upstream thioredoxin-related transmembrane protein 2 (TMX2) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
