Biological function summary
This protein plays roles in both cell adhesion and the regulation of gene expression. Beta Catenin is a critical component of the Wnt signaling pathway where it can form complexes with other proteins to influence gene transcription. In the absence of Wnt signaling beta Catenin levels are low due to its degradation. However when the pathway is active it accumulates in the cytoplasm and eventually translocates to the nucleus where it interacts with TCF/LEF transcription factors to regulate the expression of target genes.
Pathways
Beta Catenin plays a central role in the Wnt signaling pathway and influences cell fate decisions and cellular proliferation. It acts in concert with proteins such as Dishevelled (DVL) and Axin to coordinate these important biological processes. In the absence of Wnt signaling proteins such as APC and GSK-3β are responsible for beta Catenin degradation keeping its cellular levels in check. Beta Catenin’s interaction with transcription factors in the nucleus makes it pivotal in the regulation of cell and tissue homeostasis.
