Armadillo repeat
The armadillo repeat (residues 138-664) is a central structure core of 12 armadillo repeats nominated R1-R12

Each repeat present a short helix H1, and two longer helices H2 and H3 (except R7, - H3).
 
The positively charged groove that spans the entire super helical armadillo repeat region constitute the binding surface for the majority of more than 20 b-catenin partners. Tcf, APC and E-cadherin have essentially the same binding site in the structural groove.
