Evidence of adhesion and signaling roles for β-catenin in the sponge Ephydatia muelleri
K. J. Schippers, S. A. Nichols
This study investigates β-catenin's roles in the sponge Ephydatia muelleri, finding it involved in both cell adhesion and Wnt signaling, with evidence of GSK3B substrate activity and novel adhesion structures.
