Abstract excerpt
Increased transcriptional activation through beta-catenin stabilization plays a central role in colorectal tumorigenesis. Alterations of phosphorylation sites within the CTNNB1 gene, which codes for beta-catenin has been reported to occur in about one-half of colorectal tumors without APC-gene mutations. We assessed the importance of mutations in the regulatory domain, located within exon 3 of CTNNB1, in 103...
