Exchange of catenins in cadherin–catenin complex [PDF]
beta-Catenin is an intracellular multifunctional protein. In complex with the transmembrane adhesive receptor E-cadherin, it becomes plasma membrane-associated and mediates intercellular adhesion. A cytosolic pool of beta-catenin interacts with DNA-binding proteins and participates in signal transduction. To reveal the possible cross-talk between these

Adherens junction proteins on the move—From the membrane to the nucleus in intestinal diseases
The function and structure of the mammalian epithelial cell layer is maintained by distinct intercellular adhesion complexes including adherens junctions (AJs), tight junctions, and desmosomes.

Adhesion molecules in Wilms tumor (part I) [PDF]
Adhesion molekues are glicoprotees which have extracellular, transmembranous and intracytoplasmatic part. They show their basic role is in cell interaction in the tissue on one side and between cells and matrix on the other side.

Background & Aims: β-catenin is a well-known effector of the Wnt pathway, and a key player in cadherin-mediated cell adhesion. Oncogenic mutations of β-catenin are very frequent in paediatric liver primary tumours.

Expression of β-Catenin and γ-Catenin in Maxillary Bone Regeneration [PDF]
β- and γ-catenin are components of catenin family involved in cadherin adhesion function. Recently it has been shown that this family is involved in other functions such as signaling and activation of transcription factors. The final goal of this study was to evaluate the role of β- and γ-catenin in bone cell physiology and bone regeneration. Formalin-

Differential Regulation of Growth-Promoting Signalling Pathways by E-Cadherin [PDF]
Background: Despite the well-documented association between loss of E-cadherin and carcinogenesis, as well as the link between restoration of its expression and suppression of proliferation in carcinoma cells, the ability of E-cadherin to modulate growth-

Identification of the Domain of α-Catenin Involved in Its Association with β-Catenin and Plakoglobin (γ-Catenin) [PDF]
alpha-Catenin is a 102-kDa protein exhibiting homology to vincuin, and it forms complexes with cadherins or the tumor-suppressor gene product adenomatous polyposis coli through binding to beta-catenin or plakoglobin (gamma-catenin). The incorporation of alpha-catenin into the cadherin-catenin complexes is a prerequisite for expression of the cell ...

The catenin family at a glance [PDF]
Members of the catenin family were first isolated complexed with the cytoplasmic domains of cadherins at cell-cell junctions, and this relationship is considered one of the defining aspects of catenins. Their functions at such contacts are multifaceted and remain under active study and discussion.

Functions of p120ctn isoforms in cell-cell adhesion and intracellular signaling [PDF]
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 ...
