Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including alpha-catenin binding activity; beta-catenin binding activity; and enzyme binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cell adhesion; plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization; and regulation of cell migration. Located in several cellular components, including costamere; fascia adherens; and focal adhesion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; eye; genitourinary system; and leg. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy; dilated cardiomyopathy 1W; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 15. Orthologous to human VCL (vinculin).

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.
