Abstract excerpt
Aberrant activation of Wnt signaling caused by mutations in adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) or beta-catenin is a critical event in the development of human colorectal tumors. Wnt signaling stabilizes beta-catenin, which in turn associates with TCF/LEF family transcription factors, ultimately altering the expression of Wnt target genes. We have recently identified ICAT, a beta-catenin-interacting protein that...
