Loss of p120ctn : its effect on cadherin levels, development, and tumor progression

p120 binds and is thought to regulate the cell-cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin. Experiments in a p120-deficient carcinoma cell line suggest a critical role for p120 in stabilizing E-cadherin. p120 downregulation occurs in a wide range of cancers and frequently correlates with E-cadherin loss. Thus...
