Summary: Predicted to enable alpha-catenin binding activity and beta-catenin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell adhesion. Located in cytoplasmic side of apical plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; adult heart; gut section; larval muscle system; and spermatozoon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy; dilated cardiomyopathy 1W; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 15. Orthologous to human VCL (vinculin).

Singed and vinculin play redundant roles in cell migration by regulating F-actin.
Title: Singed and vinculin play redundant roles in cell migration by regulating F-actin.
These findings demonstrate the crucial importance of the tight control of the activity of vinculin.
Title: Drosophila vinculin is more harmful when hyperactive than absent, and can circumvent integrin to form adhesion complexes.
