CBY1 chibby 1, beta catenin antagonist

Gene ID: 25776, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CBY; arb1; PGEA1; C22orf2; Chibby1; PIGEA14; PIGEA-14; HS508I15A

Summary

Beta-catenin is a transcriptional activator and oncoprotein involved in the development of several cancers. The protein encoded by this gene interacts directly with the C-terminal region of beta-catenin, inhibiting oncogenic beta-catenin-mediated transcriptional activation by competing with transcription factors for binding to beta-catenin. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
