Target Name
CTNNA2
Target Full Name
Catenin alpha-2
Target Function
May function as a linker between cadherin adhesion receptors and the cytoskeleton to regulate cell-cell adhesion and differentiation in the nervous system. Required for proper regulation of cortical neuronal migration and neurite growth. It acts as negative regulator of Arp2/3 complex activity and Arp2/3-mediated actin polymerization. It thereby suppresses excessive actin branching which would impair neurite growth and stability. Regulates morphological plasticity of synapses and cerebellar and hippocampal lamination during development. Functions in the control of startle modulation.
Target Subcellular Location
Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell junction, adherens junction. Cell projection, axon. Nucleus.
Target Protein Families
Vinculin/alpha-catenin family
Target Tissue Specificity
Expressed in neural tissues, with strongest expression in fetal and adult brain. Expressed in the developing cortical plate and marginal zone of 20-week-old human fetal brain.

Target Background
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.
