Summary: 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 kinase activity. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; focal adhesion; and lamellipodium. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; genitourinary system; jaw; sensory organ; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human AJUBA (ajuba LIM protein).

Ajuba recruits p300/CBP via its LIM domain and facilitates p300/CBP binding to PPARg. Moreover, Ajuba, PPARg, p300/CBP can cooperatively occupy the PPARg target promoters and concomitantly increases histone acetylation at these loci.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
