Scientific Background Catenin beta-1 also known as β-catenin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CTNNB1 gene. β-catenin is the first characterized member of the β -catenin family. β-catenin contains 12 ARM repeats and has a dual function, depending on its localization. Cytoplasmic β-catenin is a critical component of E-cadherin/catenin adhesion complexes and regulates cadherin-dependent cell-cell interactions. When localized to the nucleus, β -catenin regulates binding to transcription factors from the TCF/LEF family, activating transcription. β -catenin is expressed in hair follicle cells such as those found in the inner and outer portions of the root sheaths, and the basal and peripheral matrix cells. Expression has also been observed in colon tissue. Defects in expression have been linked to the development of several tumors and cancers.

Scientific Background Spectrin is the major constituent of the cytoskeletal network underlying the erthrocyte plasma membrane and determines cell shape, arrangement of transmembrane proteins and organization of organelles. It is expressed at very low levels in many tissues, with the strongest expression in the cerebellum, spinal cord, stomach, pituitary gland, liver, pancreas, salivary gland, kidney, bladder and heart (1). Spectrin beta 4 is a non-erythrocyte member, and is expressed in the brain and pancreatic islets and localisted to the nuclear matrix, cytoplasmic vesicles and PML nuclear bodies. Beta4 spectrins are also essential for membrane stability and the molecular organization of the nodes of Ranvier (2).
