Abstract excerpt
The canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway classically functions through the activation of target genes by Tcf/Lef-β-catenin complexes. In contrast to β-catenin-dependent functions described for Tcf1, Tcf4 and Lef1, the known embryonic functions for Tcf3 in mice, frogs and fish are consistent with β-catenin-independent repressor activity. In this study, we genetically define Tcf3-β-catenin functions in mice by...
