Expression of dickkopf-1 and beta-catenin related to the prognosis of breast cancer patients with triple negative phenotype. [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND AIM: We investigated the prognostic importance of dickkopf-1(DKK1) and beta-catenin expression in triple negative breast cancers. METHODS: The expression of DKK1 and beta-catenin was evaluated in breast cell lines using RT-PCR and western ...

The FAM deubiquitylating enzyme localizes to multiple points of protein trafficking in epithelia, where it associates with E-cadherin and beta-catenin [PDF]
Copyright © 2004 by The American Society for Cell Biology.Ubiquitylation is a necessary step in the endocytosis and lysosomal trafficking of many plasma membrane proteins and can also influence protein trafficking in the biosynthetic pathway.

HGF/c-Met related activation of β-catenin in hepatoblastoma
Background Activation of beta-catenin is a hallmark of hepatoblastoma (HB) and appears to play a crucial role in its pathogenesis. While aberrant accumulation of the beta-catenin is a common event in HB, mutations or deletions in CTNNB1 (beta-catenin ...

A lentivirus-mediated genetic screen identifies dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) as a modulator of beta-catenin/GSK3 signaling. [PDF]
The multi-protein beta-catenin destruction complex tightly regulates beta-catenin protein levels by shuttling beta-catenin to the proteasome. Glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK3beta), a key serine/threonine kinase in the destruction complex, is ...

Wnt/beta-catenin signaling controls development of the blood–brain barrier [PDF]
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is confined to the endothelium of brain capillaries and is indispensable for fluid homeostasis and neuronal function. In this study, we show that endothelial Wnt/beta-catenin (beta-cat) signaling regulates induction and ...

An immunohistochemical study of beta-catenin in HNPCC colon tumours [PDF]
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 49-55).Beta-catenin is normally complexed with adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) protein and E-cadherin adhesion molecule, and localized on the cell membrane.

Regulation of slow and fast muscle myofibrillogenesis by Wnt/beta-catenin and myostatin signaling. [PDF]
Deviation from proper muscle development or homeostasis results in various myopathic conditions. Employing genetic as well as chemical intervention, we provide evidence that a tight regulation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling is essential for muscle fiber ...
