β-catenin is a dual-function protein involved in the regulation of cell adhesion and gene transcription. In humans, the CTNNB1 protein is encoded by the CTNNB1 gene. In Drosophila, the homologous protein is called armadillo. β-catenin is a subunit of cadherin complex, which plays a role in intracellular signal transduction in Wnt signaling pathway. It is a member of the catenin protein family and is homologous to γ-catenin (also known as plakoglobin). β-catenin is widely expressed in many tissues. In the myocardium, β-catenin is localized to the adhesive connection in the inserted intervertebral disc structure, which is essential for the electrical and mechanical coupling between adjacent cardiomyocytes.
The mutation and overexpression of β-catenin are related to many cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, malignant breast tumors, ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer. Changes in the location and expression levels of β-catenin are associated with various forms of heart disease, including dilated cardiomyopathy. β-catenin is regulated and destroyed by β-catenin destruction complex, especially adenomatous polyposis (APC) protein encoded by tumor-suppressing APC gene. Therefore, the genetic mutation of the APC gene is also closely related to cancer, especially colorectal cancer caused by familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).
