Abstract
To provide a new catenin concerning with the function of cell-cell adhesion, a gene encoding said catenin, and a use of said gene. Isolated neural .alpha.-catenin. A gene encoding neural .alpha.-catenin. A method of producing neural .alpha.-catenin by the method of genetic engineering. A method of controlling the function of cell-cell adhesion by using said gene. Antibodies capable of recognizing neural .alpha.-catenin. Amino acid sequense of said neural .alpha.-catenin and nucleotide sequence of said gene are also determined.
