Abstract excerpt
To investigate the contribution of beta-catenin to the development of gallbladder carcinoma, genetic alteration in beta-catenin gene, ctnnb-1 and subcellular localization of beta-catenin protein were searched. Mutational analysis of exon 3 in ctnnb-1, which encodes the serine/threonine residues for GSK3beta phosphorylation sites, was performed for 21 gallbladder carcinomas affected with/without the...
