Abstract excerpt
The adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumor suppressor is inactivated by mutation in most colorectal tumors. APC is a component of the Wnt signaling pathway and is best known for its ability to downregulate beta-catenin and consequent effects on transcriptional regulation. Previous work demonstrated that APC accelerates apoptosis-associated caspase activity independently of transcription, and suggested novel tumor...
