Catenin beta-1

The CTNNB1 gene encodes beta1 catenin, protein that is involved in signal transduction and stabilizing the epithelial call layer. Somatic mutations are observed in various cancers and primary hyperaldosteronism while germline mutations cause autosomal dominant mental retardation 19.
