General description
β-catenin is the founding member of the β -catenin family. This protein is comprised of 12 ARM repeats and is considered to have dual function depending on its localization. Cytoplasmic β -catenin is a critical component of E-cadherin/catening adhesion complexes and is involved in regulating cadherin-dependent cell-cell interactions.When localized to the nucleus, β -catenin serves a regulatory role by binding with transcription factors from the TCF/LEF family, activating transcription. Expression of β -catenin has been reported in a variety of hair follicle cells such as cells found in the inner and outer portions of the root sheaths, and the basal and peripheral matrix cells. It has also been observed in colon tissue. Defects in expression have been linked to the development of several tumors and cancers such as; colorectal cancer (CRC), medulloblastoma (MDB), ovarian cancer (OC), and pilomatrixoma (PTR).
