Also known as VR22MGC26194
Summary
CTNNA3 (catenin alpha 3, HGNC:2511) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q21.3, encoding Catenin alpha-3 (Q9UI47). May be involved in formation of stretch-resistant cell-cell adhesion complexes.
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.
