β-catenin is an integral part of adherens junctions and a central component of canonical Wnt signaling. Here, the authors addressed the role of β-catenin in fibroblasts for the development of SSc ...

Overholtzer et al. also noticed that before internalization, cells establish E-cadherin–beta-catenin-mediated adherens junctions and the compaction of these junctions appears to directly mediate ...

The mRNA levels of cyclin D1, CDK4, and c-myc were detected by RT-PCR. The protein expression levels of β-catenin, cyclin D1, CDK4, c-myc, vimentin, N-cadherin, and E-cadherin were assessed by western ...

Intracellularly they act as binding sites for actin filaments through vinculin and catenin. The macula adherens (desmosome ... whose extracellular proteins desmocollin and desmoglein (cadherin family) ...

The absence of miR-21 resulted in the reduced expression of Ki67 and the attenuated proliferation of tumour cells with a simultaneous increase in E-cadherin and decrease in β-catenin and SOX9 in the ...
