Catenin gamma, also known as Junction Plakoglobin, is a common junctional plaque protein. It is a cytoplasmic protein with soluble and membrane-associated forms. The presence of Catenin gamma in both the desmosomes and in the intermediate junctions suggests it has a role in the structure and function of submembranous plaques.
