Metavinculin is muscle-specific.
Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell junction, adherens junction. Cell junction, focal adhesion. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell membrane, sarcolemma; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. 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.
