Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionThe apr-1 gene encodes an ortholog of human APC (OMIM:175100, mutated in familial adenomatous polyposis) that is required for germline fertility, the control of homeodomain expression (CEH-13 and LIN-39) during embryogenesis and vulval development, and for the migration and elongation of hypodermal cells during embryo morphogenesis; APR-1 is thought to reside in adherens junctions, while also stimulating two beta-catenins in Wnt signalling (HMP-2 in migrating epithelial cells, and BAR-1 in the vulval precursor cells); however, APR-1 also binds PRY-1/axin, and with PRY-1 inhibits RAS-independent Wnt induction of LIN-39; APR-1 along with MOM-5/Frizzled receptor and GSK-3 kinase is also required for the engulfment of apoptotic cells and migration of the distal tip cell in the gonad, indicating that Wnt signaling can regulate cytoskeletal rearrangements via CED-10/RAC; phosphorylated APR-1 binds CED-2/CrkII in yeast two hybrid screens, this binding and genetic studies suggest that APR-1 and MOM-5 activate the CED-2/5/12 branch of the engulfment pathway.Paper_evidence (12)

Automated_descriptionEnables 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).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
