The protein encoded by this gene is part of a complex of proteins that constitute adherens junctions (AJs). AJs are necessary for the creation and maintenance of epithelial cell layers by regulating cell growth and adhesion between cells. The encoded protein also anchors the actin cytoskeleton and may be responsible for transmitting the contact inhibition signal that causes cells to stop dividing once the epithelial sheet is complete. Finally, this protein binds to the product of the APC gene, which is mutated in adenomatous polyposis of the colon. Mutations in this gene are a cause of colorectal cancer (CRC), pilomatrixoma (PTR), medulloblastoma (MDB), and ovarian cancer. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.

Western blot of human embryonic kidney cell (HEK) lysate showing specific immunolabeling of the ~83k β-catenin phosphorylated at Ser33 and Ser37 (Upper Panel) and a pan β-catenin (Lower Panel). Control is a standard HEK cell lysate. GSK3 is a HEK cell lysate with glycogen synthase kinase 3β knocked down by SiRNA.
