Abstract excerpt
beta-Catenin functions as a transcriptional regulator in Wnt signaling. Its function is regulated by a specific destruction system. Plakoglobin is a close homologue of beta-catenin in mammalian cells and is regulated in a similar fashion. When beta-catenin or plakoglobin is exogenously expressed in cells, endogenous beta-catenin is stabilized, which complicates estimation of the transcriptional activities of...
