Beta-catenin expression and allelic loss at APC in sporadic colorectal carcinogenesis.
beta-catenin is involved in E-cadherin-mediated cell adhesion, intracellular signal transduction, and also interacts with adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) protein. We previously found that 31% of colorectal adenomas and 84% of carcinomas showed reduced membranous staining of beta-catenin, while 46%...
