β-catenin is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell adhesion and gene transcription. It is a key component of the Wnt signaling pathway, which is involved in various biological processes such as embryonic development, tissue regeneration, and cancer. Research on β-catenin focuses on understanding its functions in normal cellular processes and its dysregulation in diseases, particularly cancer. Studies often investigate how β-catenin interacts with other proteins and signaling pathways to control cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Manipulating β-catenin signaling is also a potential therapeutic target for cancer and other diseases.
