α-catenin is a scaffolding molecule that can bind F-actin and other cytoskeletal proteins. It is best known for its contribution to cell-cell adhesion. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Vassilev et al. (2017) identify an extrajunctional pool of α-catenin that regulates RhoA signaling and controls directional migration of single cells.
