beta-catenin phosphorylation/degradation by a dual-kinase mechanism," Cell, vol.
Cyclin D1 is not an immediate target of
beta-catenin following Apc loss in the intestine.
We have observed that, in some cases, acidophilic nuclear inclusions bear a resemblance to nuclear features seen in the BROCN tumors, morule-forming neoplasms with BROCN, which are now thought to be surrogate products of alterations in the
beta-catenin pathway.
ATDC was also linked to increased levels of a signalling protein called
beta-catenin, which is known to play a key role in cancer development.
Another molecule that may be involved in that death signal is
beta-catenin, to which APC binds tightly.
It has two branches: the
beta-catenin mediates the canonical pathway and the RhoA/PLC mediates the noncanonical pathway.
beta-Catenin: a pivot between cell adhesion and Wnt signalling.
Regulation of intracellular
beta-catenin levels by the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumor-suppressor protein.
It was observed that cells from those without the disease had low levels of
beta-catenin, a protein that enters cell nuclei and activates certain genes.
Stabilization of
beta-catenin impacts pancreas growth.
