mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM20 homolog pseudogene

eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E nuclear import factor 1

The protein encoded by this gene is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttle protein for the translation initiation factor eIF4E. This shuttle protein interacts with the importin alpha-beta complex to mediate nuclear import of eIF4E. It is predominantly cytoplasmic; its own nuclear import is regulated by a nuclear localization signal and nuclear export signals. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]

heat shock protein nuclear import factor hikeshi

This gene encodes an evolutionarily conserved nuclear transport receptor that mediates heat-shock-induced nuclear import of 70 kDa heat-shock proteins (Hsp70s) through interactions with FG-nucleoporins. The protein mediates transport of the ATP form but not the ADP form of Hsp70 proteins under conditions of heat shock stress. Structural analyses demonstrate that the protein forms an asymmetric homodimer and that the N-terminal domain consists of a jelly-roll/beta-sandwich fold structure that contains hydrophobic pockets involved in FG-nucleoporin recognition. Reduction of RNA expression levels in HeLa cells using small interfering RNAs results in inhibition of heat shock-induced nuclear accumulation of Hsp70s, indicating a role for this gene in regulation of Hsp70 nuclear import during heat shock stress.

mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM7 homolog

catenin (cadherin-associated protein), beta 1, 88kDa pseudogene

catenin (cadherin-associated protein), alpha 1, 102kDa

This gene encodes a member of the catenin family of proteins that play an important role in cell adhesion process by connecting cadherins located on the plasma membrane to the actin filaments inside the cell. The encoded mechanosensing protein contains three vinculin homology domains and undergoes conformational changes in response to cytoskeletal tension, resulting in the reconfiguration of cadherin-actin filament connections. Certain mutations in this gene cause butterfly-shaped pigment dystrophy. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016]

catenin (cadherin-associated protein), alpha 2

Enables actin filament binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of Arp2/3 complex-mediated actin nucleation; regulation of neuron migration; and regulation of neuron projection development. Located in cytoplasm. Implicated in complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

catenin (cadherin-associated protein), alpha 3

This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the vinculin/alpha-catenin family. The encoded protein plays a role in cell-cell adhesion in muscle cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, familial 13. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

catenin, beta interacting protein 1

The protein encoded by this gene binds CTNNB1 and prevents interaction between CTNNB1 and TCF family members. The encoded protein is a negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

dishevelled-binding antagonist of beta-catenin 1

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the dapper family, characterized by the presence of PDZ-binding motif at the C-terminus. It interacts with, and positively regulates dishevelled-mediated signaling pathways during development. Depletion of this mRNA from xenopus embryos resulted in loss of notochord and head structures, and mice lacking this gene died shortly after birth from severe posterior malformations. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

dishevelled-binding antagonist of beta-catenin 3

Predicted to enable delta-catenin binding activity; protein kinase A binding activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway and negative regulation of cell growth. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

dishevelled-binding antagonist of beta-catenin 2

Predicted to enable several functions, including beta-catenin binding activity; delta-catenin binding activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including epithelial cell morphogenesis; inner medullary collecting duct development; and negative regulation of nodal signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

catenin (cadherin-associated protein), delta 2

This gene encodes an adhesive junction associated protein of the armadillo/beta-catenin superfamily and is implicated in brain and eye development and cancer formation. The protein encoded by this gene promotes the disruption of E-cadherin based adherens junction to favor cell spreading upon stimulation by hepatocyte growth factor. This gene is overexpressed in prostate adenocarcinomas and is associated with decreased expression of tumor suppressor E-cadherin in this tissue. This gene resides in a region of the short arm of chromosome 5 that is deleted in Cri du Chat syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

catenin (cadherin-associated protein), delta 1

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]

catenin (cadherin-associated protein), alpha 1 pseudogene 1

catenin, beta like 1 pseudogene

catenin (cadherin-associated protein), alpha-like 1

Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and cadherin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within Rho protein signal transduction. Located in cytosol. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

catenin (cadherin-associated protein), beta 1, 88kDa

The protein encoded by this gene 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. The encoded protein 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. Finally, this protein binds to the product of the APC gene, which is mutated in adenomatous polyposis of the colon. Mutations in this gene are a cause of colorectal cancer (CRC), pilomatrixoma (PTR), medulloblastoma (MDB), and ovarian cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

catenin, beta like 1

The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the pre-mRNA-processing factor 19-cell division cycle 5-like (PRP19-CDC5L) protein complex, which activates pre-mRNA splicing and is an integral part of the spliceosome. The encoded protein is also a nuclear localization sequence binding protein, and binds to activation-induced deaminase and is important for antibody diversification. This gene may also be associated with the development of obesity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene has been defined on the X chromosome.
