products description :
Axin1 (Axis inhibition protein 1) and Axin2 are multidomain scaffold proteins that negatively regulate Wnt signaling. Axin1 complexes with APC, GSK3 beta, Dvl and beta-catenin and promotes the GSK3 beta-mediated phosphorylation and subsequent degradation of beta-catenin. Upon stimulation of cells with Wnt, Axin1 is recruited to the membrane by phosphorylated LRP5/6, a process that is believed to be crucial for activation of Wnt signaling. In addition to its role in the Wnt signaling pathway, Axin1 complexes with MEKK1 and causes the activation of c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK/SAPK). Axin2 (also known as Conductin or Axil) can functionally substitute for Axin1 in mice. Axin2 itself is a direct target of the Wnt signaling pathway and therefore serves to control the duration and/or intensity of Wnt signaling through a negative feedback loop.

ncbi summary :
The Axin-related protein, Axin2, presumably plays an important role in the regulation of the stability of beta-catenin in the Wnt signaling pathway, like its rodent homologs, mouse conductin/rat axil. In mouse, conductin organizes a multiprotein complex of APC (adenomatous polyposis of the colon), beta-catenin, glycogen synthase kinase 3-beta, and conductin, which leads to the degradation of beta-catenin. Apparently, the deregulation of beta-catenin is an important event in the genesis of a number of malignancies. The AXIN2 gene has been mapped to 17q23-q24, a region that shows frequent loss of heterozygosity in breast cancer, neuroblastoma, and other tumors. Mutations in this gene have been associated with colorectal cancer with defective mismatch repair. [provided by RefSeq]
uniprot summary :
axin 2: is a negative regulator of the Wnt pathway, which is critical in stem cell signaling, morphogenesis, the mesenchymal-epithelial transition, and many cancers. Axin functions as a tumor suppressor. Probably facilitates the phosphorylation of beta-catenin and APC by GSK3B, leading to their ubiquitination and subsequent proteolysis. Is downregulated during progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Axin1/2 mediate cross-talk between TGF-beta and Wnt signaling pathways. Protein type: Adaptor/scaffold.
