Apc gene mutation is associated with a dominant-negative effect upon intestinal cell migration

Apc-associated intestinal tumor formation appears to require functional loss of both Apc alleles. Apc has, therefore, been classified as a tumor suppressor gene. Loss of APC protein function results in increased intracellular beta-catenin, a molecule important to both cell-cell adhesion and regulati...
