Abstract excerpt
The beta-catenin gene is frequently mutated at codons 33, 41 and 45 of the glycogen synthase kinase-3beta phosphorylation motif in human colon cancers in patients without APC mutations. Frequent mutations at codons 32 and 34, as well as 33 and 41, have been detected in rat colon tumors induced by azoxymethane (AOM), with the second G of CTGGA sequences being considered as a mutational hot-spot. In the present...
