Integrin α6A splice variant regulates proliferation and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in human colorectal cancer cells

Abstract excerpt

The integrin α6 subunit pre-messenger RNA undergoes alternative splicing to generate two different splice variants, named α6A and α6B, having distinct cytoplasmic domains. In the human colonic gland, these splice variants display different patterns of expression suggesting specific functions for each variant. We have previously found an up-regulation of the α6β4 integrin in colon adenocarcinomas as well as an...
