Wnt/(β-catenin) Cancer Research Results

Wnt/(β-catenin), Wnt/(β-catenin): Click to Expand ⟱
Source: HalifaxProj (inhibit) TCGA
Type:
The Wnt signaling pathway is activated when Wnt proteins bind to Frizzled receptors on the cell surface, leading to the stabilization and accumulation of β-catenin in the cytoplasm and its subsequent translocation to the nucleus.
In the nucleus, β-catenin interacts with transcription factors to activate target genes that promote cell growth and survival.
