MeSH definition : A multi-functional catenin that is highly homologous to BETA CATENIN. Gamma catenin
binds CADHERINS and helps link their cytoplasmic tails to ACTIN in the CYTOSKELETON
via ALPHA CATENIN. It is also found in DESMOSOMES where it mediates the link between
DESMOSOMAL CADHERINS and DESMOPLAKIN.;
