  • Transgenic fish and ?-catenin signaling pathway model
    Patent number: 7314968
    Abstract: The present invention is directed a Lef1/?-catenin-dependent reporter and to transgenic fish containing this reporter. The present invention is also directed to the use of the reporter and the transgenic fish as a model for the ?-catenin signaling pathway. The model is useful for identifying genes in the ?-catenin signaling pathway and for identifying drugs that can modulate the ?-catenin signaling pathway. Such drugs are useful for treating or preventing melanoma, colorectal cancer and osteoporosis, among other disease conditions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 3, 2003
    Date of Patent: January 1, 2008
    Assignee: University of Washington
    Inventors: Randall T. Moon, Richard I. Dorsky
  • Transgenic fish and beta-catenin signaling pathway model
    Publication number: 20040168210
    Abstract: The present invention is directed a Lef1/&bgr;-catenin-dependent reporter and to transgenic fish containing this reporter. The present invention is also directed to the use of the reporter and the transgenic fish as a model for the &bgr;-catenin signaling pathway. The model is useful for identifying genes in the &bgr;-catenin signaling pathway and for identifying drugs that can modulate the &bgr;-catenin signaling pathway. Such drugs are useful for treating or preventing melanoma, colorectal cancer and osteoporosis, among other disease conditions.
