  • Catenin beta-1 (also known as CTNNB1, ⁇ -catenin, or beta-catenin) is a member of the catenin protein family. In humans, it is encoded by the CTNNB1 gene and is known for its dual functions—cell-cell adhesion and gene transcription. Beta-catenin is an integral structural component of cadherin-based adherens junctions and regulates cell growth and adhesion between cells and anchors the actin cytoskeleton. In some instance, beta-catenin is responsible for transmitting the contact inhibition signal that causes the cells to stop dividing once the epithelial sheet is complete. Beta-catenin is also a key nuclear effector of the Wnt signaling pathway.
