Cadherin-bound beta-catenin feeds into the Wnt pathway upon adherens junctions dissociation: evidence for an intersection between beta-catenin pools. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Beta-catenin is an essential component of two cellular systems: cadherin-based adherens junctions (AJ) and the Wnt signaling pathway. A functional or physical connection between these beta-catenin pools has been suggested in previous studies, but not ...

Accumulation of phosphorylated beta-catenin enhances ROS-induced cell death in presenilin-deficient cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Presenilin (PS) is involved in many cellular events under physiological and pathological conditions. Previous reports have revealed that PS deficiency results in hyperproliferation and resistance to apoptotic cell death.

β-catenin takes a HIT [PDF]
Cell Cycle, 2008 Histidine triad (HIT) proteins represent a small family of nucleotide-binding and -hydrolyzing proteins, which attracted the attention of cancer biologists because their expression is lost in multiple human malignancies. To some of the family members including Fhit, Hint1 and Hint2, a tumor suppressive activity was assigned.

Wnt/beta-catenin/Tcf signaling: A critical pathway in gastrointestinal tumorigenesis [PDF]
, 2002 Cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, including the liver, bile ducts, and pancreas, constitute the largest group of malignant tumors. Colorectal cancer is one of the most common neoplastic diseases in Western countries and one of the leading causes of ...

Kinetics of Wnt-driven beta-catenin stabilization revealed by quantitative and temporal imaging. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 The Wnt/beta-catenin signal transduction pathway regulates a broad range of developmental processes. Aberrant activation of the Wnt pathway leads to cancer and degenerative diseases.

Receptor and secreted targets of Wnt-1/beta-catenin signalling in mouse mammary epithelial cells. [PDF]
, 2005 BackgroundDeregulation of the Wnt/ beta-catenin signal transduction pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesis of tumours in the mammary gland, colon and other tissues. Mutations in components of this pathway result in beta-catenin stabilization and

Brain Beta-Catenin Signalling During Stress and Depression
Neurosignals, 2018 Beta-catenin is a protein with dual functions in the cell, playing a role in both adhesion between cells as well as gene transcription via the canonical Wnt signalling pathway.

Beta-catenin phosphorylated at serine 45 is spatially uncoupled from beta-catenin phosphorylated in the GSK3 domain: implications for signaling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 C. elegans and Drosophila generate distinct signaling and adhesive forms of beta-catenin at the level of gene expression. Whether vertebrates, which rely on a single beta-catenin gene, generate unique adhesive and signaling forms at the level of protein ...

Alteration of Subcellular Beta Catenin Expression in Normal Mucosa Adenoma and Carcinoma in Relation to Colorectal Carcinogenesis [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene mutation was found in up to 80% of cases of sporadic colorectal cancers and adenomas. Loss of APC protein function has been known as one of the early process in colorectal carcinogenesis. This event leads
