Disruption of the β-catenin destruction complex via Ephexin1-Axin1 interaction promotes colorectal cancer proliferation by Jeeho Kim, Young Jin Jeon, In-Youb Chang, Jung-Hee Lee, Ho Jin You

“…Through comprehensive analysis, including RNA sequencing data from TCGA and functional assays, we observed that Ephexin1 promotes tumor proliferation and migration by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. This effect was mediated by the interaction of Ephexin1 with Axin1, a critical component of the β-catenin destruction complex, which in turn enhanced the stability and activity of β-catenin in signaling pathways critical for tumor development. …”
