Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) tumor suppressor gene cause uncontrolled proliferation and impaired differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells. Recent studies indicate that human colon adenomas and carcinomas lack retinol dehydrogenases (RDHs) and that APC regulates the expression of human RDHL. These data suggest a model wherein APC controls enterocyte differentiation by controlling...
