gene: apr-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables beta-catenin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; regulation of Wnt signaling pathway; and regulation of multicellular organismal development. Located in adherens junction; cell cortex; and nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including P3.p hermaphrodite; P4.p hermaphrodite; P8.p hermaphrodite; distal tip cell; and excretory cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; Sotos syndrome 3; carcinoma (multiple); and gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human APC (APC regulator of WNT signaling pathway) and APC2 (APC regulator of WNT signaling pathway 2).
