beta-catenin-ICAT complex
Definition
Target type: cellularcomponent
Transcription factor complex that inhibits binding of Tcf to beta-catenin while preserving interaction of catenin with cadherin thus inhibiting transcription mediated by beta-catenin-Tcf complex. [GOC:bhm, PMID:12408824]
The beta-catenin-ICAT complex is a protein complex that plays a crucial role in regulating Wnt signaling. ICAT (Inhibitor of beta-Catenin and TCF) is a protein that directly interacts with beta-catenin, preventing its nuclear translocation and subsequent activation of Wnt target genes. The cellular component of this complex is primarily found in the cytoplasm. This localization is important for its function, as it allows ICAT to sequester beta-catenin in the cytoplasm and prevent its accumulation in the nucleus. The complex is likely associated with various cellular structures, including cytoskeletal elements, which may facilitate its interaction with beta-catenin and other signaling molecules. While specific details of its association with particular organelles or cellular components are not fully elucidated, studies suggest that the beta-catenin-ICAT complex interacts with microtubules, which could contribute to its cytoplasmic localization and its potential role in regulating cell migration and morphogenesis.'
