Sex-specific roles of -catenin in mouse gonadal development
4 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
Sexually dimorphic development of the gonads is controlled by positive and negative regulators produced by somatic cells. Many Wnt ligands, including ones that signal via the canonical beta-catenin pathway, are expressed in fetal gonads. beta-catenin, a key transcriptional regulator of the canonical Wnt pathway and an element of the cell adhesion complex, is essential for various aspects of embryogenesis. To...
