Abstract excerpt
beta-Catenin nuclear translocation is frequently observed in different types of malignancies, including gastric cancer. In gastric cancer, however, the molecular mechanisms leading to accumulation of this protein in the nucleus remain unknown. In this setting, beta-catenin (CTNNB1) mutations have been reported, but studies of mutation frequency have yielded conflicting results. Mutations or silencing of other...
