Abstract excerpt
beta-Catenin is a cytoplasmic protein that participates in the assembly of cell-cell adherens junctions by binding cadherins to the actin cytoskeleton.

Activation of this pathway triggers the accumulation of beta-catenin in the nucleus, where it activates the transcription of target genes. Abnormal accumulation of beta-catenin is characteristic of...
