Catenin delta-2 is expressed in the brain where it is important for normal cognitive development.
[1] Like β-catenin and γ-catenin, δ-catenins seem to interact with presenilins.
[2] These catenin-presenilin interaction have implications for cadherin function and regulation of cell-to-cell adhesion.
[4] Palmitoylation of δ-catenin seems to coordinate activity-dependent changes in synaptic adhesion molecules, synapse structure, and receptor localizations that are involved in memory formation.
