Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables several functions, including actin filament binding activity; alpha-catenin binding activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Involved in positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; focal adhesion assembly; and regulation of cellular biosynthetic process. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; focal adhesion; and lamellipodium. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and tooth. Orthologous to human AJUBA (ajuba LIM protein).
