APC Antibody

Adenomatosis polyposis coli (APC) is a tumor suppressor gene found to be mutated in most colon cancers and is the cause of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), an autosomal dominant disease that results in a predisposition to malignant colon cancer. APC has been shown to be involved in cell differentiation, migration, proliferation and adhesion. One function of APC involves its role as a scaffolding protein that regulates the phosphorylation and degradation of beta-catenin, a transcriptional regulator in the WNT signaling pathway. Additionally, APC has been found to be important in the regulation of microtubule arrays and mitotic spindle formation.

Alternative names for APC Antibody include DP2.5 antibody, DP2 antibody, GS antibody, FAP antibody, FPC antibody, DP3 antibody.
