Type: | Domain | Name: | Beta-catenin-interacting ICAT |
Description: | This domain is characteristic of eukaryotic beta-catenin-interacting (ICAT) proteins. Beta-catenin is a multifunctional protein involved in both cell adhesion and transcriptional activation. Transcription mediated by the beta-catenin/Tcf complex is involved in embryological development and is upregulated in various cancers. ICAT selectively inhibits beta-catenin/Tcf binding in vivo, without disrupting beta-catenin/cadherin interactions [].Protein LZIC contains a leucine zipper domain and an ICAT homologous domain, with particular conservation of residues that are used by ICAT for beta-catenin-binding [, ]. | Short Name: | ICAT |
