APCDD1 is a novel protein that has been shown to be a target of Wnt/beta catenin signaling pathway in cancer cell lines. APCDD1 is overexpressed in colorectal carcinogenesis and is deregulated in CTNNB1 mutated Wilms tumors. [FUNCTION] Probably plays a role in colorectal tumorigenesis. May be a developmental target gene of the Wnt/Beta-catenin pathway.
[SUBCELLULAR LOCATION] Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein (Potential).
[TISSUE SPECIFICITY] Abundantly expressed in heart, pancreas, prostate and ovary. Moderately expressed in lung, liver, kidney, spleen, thymus, colon and peripheral lymphocytes.
[INDUCTION] Transcriptionally regulated by the CTNNB1/TF7L2complex.
