Function
Inhibitor of the Wnt signaling pathway. Down-regulates beta-catenin. Probably facilitate the phosphorylation of beta-catenin and APC by GSK3B.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in brain and lymphoblast
Disease Association: Colorectal cancer (CRC) : A complex disease characterized by malignant lesions arising from the inner wall of the large intestine (the colon) and the rectum. Genetic alterations are often associated with progression from premalignant lesion (adenoma) to invasive adenocarcinoma. Risk factors for cancer of the colon and rectum include colon polyps, long-standing ulcerative colitis, and genetic family history. [The gene represented in this entry is involved in disease pathogenesis] | Oligodontia-colorectal cancer syndrome (ODCRCS) : Affected individuals manifest severe tooth agenesis and colorectal cancer or precancerous lesions of variable types. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
