Abstract excerpt
Most colorectal cancers have mutations of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene or the beta-catenin gene that stabilize beta-catenin and activate beta-catenin target genes, leading ultimately to cancer. The molecular mechanisms of APC function in beta-catenin degradation are not completely known. APC binds beta-catenin and is involved in the Axin complex, suggesting that APC regulates beta-catenin...
