|---|---|
| Function | Actin filament (F-actin)-binding protein involved in cell- matrix adhesion and cell-cell adhesion. Regulates cell-surface E- cadherin expression and potentiates mechanosensing by the E-cadherin complex. May also play important roles in cell morphology and locomotion. |
| Cellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P12003}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P12003}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P12003}. Cell junction, adherens junction {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P12003}. Cell junction, focal adhesion {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P12003}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P85972}. Cell membrane, sarcolemma {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q64727}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q64727}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q64727}. Cell projection, podosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q64727}. Note=Recruitment to cell-cell junctions occurs in a myosin II-dependent manner. Interaction with CTNNB1 is necessary for its localization to the cell-cell junctions {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P12003} |
| Tissue Location | Metavinculin is muscle-specific. |
