Interaction of the DF3/MUC1 Breast Carcinoma-associated Antigen and β-Catenin in Cell Adhesion
1 May 1997
Abstract excerpt
The DF3/MUC1 mucin-like glycoprotein is aberrantly overexpressed in human breast carcinomas. The functional role of DF3 is unknown. The present studies demonstrate that DF3 associates with beta-catenin. Similar findings have been obtained for gamma-catenin but not alpha-catenin. DF3, like E-cadherin and the adenomatous polyposis coli gene product, contains an SXXXXXSSL site that is responsible for direct binding...
