CASP5C amplifies Wnt signaling in human intestinal epithelium
What the study found CASP5C, one of three CASP5 isoforms, is the form that uniquely promotes Wnt signaling in the human intestinal epithelium. The authors report that it does so by cleaving APC, a scaffold protein in the β-catenin destruction complex, which helps sustain intestinal epithelial renewal. Why the authors say this matters The authors…
