Aberrant nuclear localization of β-catenin without genetic alterations in β-catenin or Axin genes in esophageal cancer
19 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: beta-catenin is a multifunctional protein involved in two apparently independent processes: cell-cell adhesion and signal transduction. beta-catenin is involved in Wnt signaling pathway that regulates cellular differentiation and proliferation. In this study, we investigated the expression pattern of beta-catenin and cyclin D1 using immunohistochemistry and searched for mutations in exon 3 of the...
