Abstract excerpt
Beta-catenin is a ubiquitously cytoplasmic protein that has a critical role in embryonic development and mature tissue homeostasis through its effects on E-cadherin-mediated cell adhesion and Wnt-dependent signal transduction. Mutations that alter specific beta-catenin residues important for GSK-3beta phosphorylation, or increase the half-life of the protein, were identified in human cancer. However, the role of...
