Antagonism of Cell Adhesion by an α-Catenin Mutant, and of the Wnt-signaling Pathway by α-Catenin in Xenopus Embryos
In Xenopus laevis development, β-catenin plays an important role in the Wnt-signaling pathway by establishing the Nieuwkoop center, which in turn leads to specification of the dorsoventral axis. Cadherins are essential for embryonic morphogenesis since they mediate calcium-dependent cell–cell adhesi...
