Distant organ metastasis of prostate cancer is a puzzle, and various theories have
successively arisen to explain the mechanism of lethal cancer progression. While perhaps …

P0071 is a member of a subfamily of armadillo proteins that also comprises p120-catenin
(p120ctn), δ-catenin/NPRAP, ARVCF and the more distantly related plakophilins 1–3. These …

Background: Cucurbitacin (Cuc) and triterpene-derived natural products exhibit anti-cancer
potential in addition to their conspicuous anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory activity …

Ubiquitin (Ub) signaling requires the sequential interactions and activities of three enzymes,
E1, E2, and E3. Cdc34 is an E2 that plays a key role in regulating cell cycle progression and …

The apical junctional complex (AJC) is a cell-cell adhesion system present at the upper
portion of the lateral membrane of epithelial cells integrated by the tight junction (TJ) and the …

δ-Catenin binds the juxtamembrane domain of E-cadherin and is known to be
overexpressed in some human tumors. However, the functions of δ-catenin in epithelial cells …
