1 Sept 2002
Abstract excerpt
E-cadherin and beta-catenin are important epithelial adhesion molecules in normal epithelium. Loss of E-cadherin - beta-catenin adhesion is an important step in the progression of many epithelial malignancies. beta-catenin plays also a role in intracellular signaling and can function as an oncogene when binds to the T-cell factor 4 (Tcf4)-binding site in the promotor region of cyclin D1 and transactivates genes...
