beta-catenin expression in pilomatrixomas. Relationship with beta-catenin gene mutations and comparison with beta-catenin expression in normal hair follicles
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: beta-catenin functions in signal transduction in the Wnt signalling pathway, which has recently been implicated in hair follicle (HF) morphogenesis. beta-catenin gene mutations affecting exon 3 have been reported in a high percentage of human pilomatrixomas. However, the expression pattern of beta-catenin in human HFs and pilomatrixomas has not been reported. OBJECTIVES: To analyse...
