β-catenin

Beta catenin

β-catenin is a dual function protein, regulating the coordination of cell–cell adhesion and gene transcription. In humans, the CTNNB1 protein is encoded by the CTNNB1 gene. β-catenin is a subunit of the cadherin protein complex and acts as an intracellular signal transducer in the Wnt signaling pathway. It is a member of the catenin protein family and homologous to γ-catenin. Mutations and overexpression of β-catenin are associated with many cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, lung cancer,malignant breast tumors, ovarian and endometrial cancer. β-catenin is regulated and destroyed by the beta-catenin destruction complex, and in particular by the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) protein, encoded by the tumour-suppressing APC gene. Therefore genetic mutation of the APC gene is also strongly linked to cancers, and in particular colorectal cancer resulting from familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).

    Halofenate
    Inhibitor
    Halofenate, structurally akin to clofibrate, was evaluated in hypertriglyceridemic patients over 6-week periods in a controlled, double-blind crossover trial. It effectively reduced serum triglycerides by 50%, with minimal impact on serum cholesterol levels. Additionally, it lowered serum uric acid by 30% and exhibited uricosuric effects independent of glomerular filtration rate. Halofenate was associated with a significant increase in plasma thyroxine (T4), accompanied by a decrease in protein-bound iodine and T4 by column. In vitro studies confirmed its ability to displace T4 from thyroid-binding proteins, suggesting a thyroxine-displacing effect, which could influence thyroid function in vivo.
