Article Title: Carcinogenesis: A balance between β-catenin and APC
Abstract: A protein first identified by its association with cadherin cell adhesion molecules, β-catenin, has been implicated in carcinogenesis. In a number of different types of cancer, signalling through β-catenin is upregulated either by direct mutation of β-catenin or loss of negative regulation by the APC tumor suppressor protein.
