    proteins crucial for cell adhesion and tissue integrity

    Catenins are a family of proteins that play a crucial role in cell adhesion, which is the process that helps cells stick together to form tissues. They are involved in linking the cell membrane to the cytoskeleton, thereby maintaining the structural integrity of tissues and facilitating communication between cells.
