    Summary
    Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and beta-catenin binding activity. Involved in cell-cell adhesion. Located in adherens junction; fascia adherens; and lamellipodium. Is expressed in cardiac muscle tissue and skin of male preputial swelling. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 13. Orthologous to human CTNNA3 (catenin alpha 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
