Abstract excerpt
The E-cadherin/catenin complex is a prime mediator of cell-cell adhesion. APC mutations can result in loss of beta-catenin downregulation and an accumulation of beta-catenin in the cell. Beta-CATENIN mutations can have a similar effect. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of beta-CATENIN and APC mutations on the expression and assembly of the E-cadherin/catenin complex. Five colorectal carcinoma...
