Words similar to axin
Example sentences for: axin
How can you use “axin” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
If the carboxyterminus of LRP6 can interact with Axin independently of DFz2 and Dsh, it might reduce the cytoplasmic level of Axin and help stabilize β-catenin.
Dsh in turn inhibits glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3β in the β-catenin destruction complex, which mainly consists of Axin, GSK-3β, adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) and β-catenin.
The tail kinking in these mice is highly similar to the phenotype seen in Axin mutants with activated Wnt signaling, indicating the β-catenin protein expressed in our transgenic mice is functional.
Similar results were reported for this FLAG epitope-tagged mutant in other cell lines [ 26 ] . Second, the tail kinking and "waltzing" phenotypes in our transgenic animals expressing stabilized human β-catenin are highly similar to those seen in Fused mice [ 29 ] . Fused encodes the murine Axin homologue, and mutation of this gene results in activation of Wnt signaling [ 30 ] . The tail kinking in our animals presumably results from low level expression of the mutant transgene in utero during vertebral patterning.
While the functions of Fz and Dsh remain to be clarified, it is possible that upon Wnt signaling, Fzs recruit Dsh to the membrane and Dsh brings Axin to the carboxyterminus of LRPs.
