Ctnnal1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and cadherin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in Rho protein signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including dermomyotome; embryo ectoderm; gut; peripheral nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CTNNAL1 (catenin alpha like 1).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ctnnal1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
