Functions of p120ctn isoforms in cell-cell adhesion and intracellular signaling [PDF]
, 2012 The functions of many organs depend on the generation of an epithelium. The transition from a set of loosely connected nonpolarized cells to organized sheets of closely associated polarized epithelial cells requires the assembly of specialized cell ...

Functions of p120ctn in development and disease [PDF]
, 2012 p120 catenin (p120ctn), a component of the cadherin-catenin complex, was the first member to be identified in a most interesting subfamily of the Armadillo family. Several p120ctn isoforms are generated by alternative splicing.

Quercetin treatment reduces the severity of renal dysplasia in a beta-catenin dependent manner.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Renal dysplasia, the major cause of childhood renal failure, is characterized by defective branching morphogenesis and nephrogenesis. Beta-catenin, a transcription factor and cell adhesion molecule, is markedly increased in the nucleus of kidney cells in

Beta-Catenin in Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2020 To find whether it is possible that beta-catenin, associated with the development of serious systemic diseases, as well as the neoplastic process, plays a role in the development of pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX). If so, identifying PEX, an age-related, vision-threatening disorder of elastic fibers, which is manifested in eyes by the accumulation of ...

WNT4/beta-catenin pathway maintains female germ cell survival by inhibiting activin betaB in the mouse fetal ovary. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Female germ cells are essential for organogenesis of the ovary; without them, ovarian follicles do not form and functional and structural characteristics of the ovary are lost.

Celecoxib inhibits proliferation and survival of chronic myelogeous leukemia (CML) cells via AMPK-dependent regulation of β-catenin and mTORC1/2. [PDF]
, 2016 CML is effectively treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, the efficacy of these drugs is confined to the chronic phase of the disease and development of resistance to TKIs remains a pressing issue.

Phosphorylation of β-Catenin by AKT Promotes β-Catenin Transcriptional Activity [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2007 Increased transcriptional activity of beta-catenin resulting from Wnt/Wingless-dependent or -independent signaling has been detected in many types of human cancer, but the underlying mechanism of Wnt-independent regulation is poorly understood. We have demonstrated that AKT, which is activated downstream from epidermal growth factor receptor signaling,
