Delta-1-catenin and Delta-2-catenin are members of a subfamily of proteins with ten Armadillo-repeats. Delta-2-catenin is expressed in the brain where it is important for normal cognitive development.[1] Like beta-catenin and gamma-catenin, delta-catenins seem to interact with presenilins.[2] These catenin-presenilin interaction have implications for cadherin function and regulation of cell-to-cell adhesion.[3]
While beta-catenin acts as a transcription regulatory protein in the Wnt/TCF pathway, delta-catenin 1 has been implicated as a regulator of the NF-κB transcription factor.[4]
Palmitoylation of delta-catenin seems to coordinate activity-dependent changes in synaptic adhesion molecules, synapse structure, and receptor localizations that are involved in memory formation.[5]
