Axin-1: Products

Axin-1 is a negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway, which is involved in regulation of embryonic axis formation in vertebrates. Axin-1 binds to beta-catenin and glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) to promote beta-catenin phosphorylation and subsequent degradation. Axin-1 also binds to the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene, a known tumor suppressor that also regulates beta-catenin.
