Human Gene CTNND2 (ENST00000304623.13) from GENCODE V44
Description: Homo sapiens catenin delta 2 (CTNND2), transcript variant 1, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_001332) RefSeq Summary (NM_001332): 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.

ID:CTND2_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Catenin delta-2; AltName: Full=Delta-catenin; AltName: Full=GT24; AltName: Full=Neural plakophilin-related ARM-repeat protein; Short=NPRAP; AltName: Full=Neurojungin; FUNCTION: Functions as a transcriptional activator when bound to ZBTB33 (By similarity). May be involved in neuronal cell adhesion and tissue morphogenesis and integrity by regulating adhesion molecules. SUBUNIT: Binds to E-cadherin at a juxtamembrane site within the cytoplasmic domain. Interacts with PDZD2. Interacts with ZBTB33 (By similarity). Binds to PSEN1. Interacts with ARHGEF28. Interacts (via the extreme C-terminus) with FRMPD2 (via the PDZ 2 domain). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (By similarity). Cell junction, adherens junction (By similarity). Perikaryon. Note=Co-localizes with CDK5 in the cell body of neuronal cells. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Predominantly expressed in brain; accumulates in cortical neurons (at protein level). PTM: O-glycosylated (By similarity). PTM: Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR. Phosphorylated by CDK5. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the beta-catenin family. SIMILARITY: Contains 9 ARM repeats. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAB68599.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally extended; Sequence=AAB88185.1; Type=Frameshift; Positions=913; WEB RESOURCE: Name=NIEHS-SNPs; URL="http://egp.gs.washington.edu/data/ctnnd2/";
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
