Abstract excerpt
Canonical Wnt signaling involves complex intracellular events culminating in the stabilization of beta-catenin, which enters the nucleus and binds to LEF/TCF transcription factors to stimulate gene expression. Pygopus was identified as a genetic modifier of Wg (Wnt homolog) signaling in Drosophila, and encodes a PHD domain protein that associates with the beta-catenin/LEF/TCF complex. Two murine pygopus paralogs,...
