Axin 2 (AXIN2) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions in the regulation of the stability of beta-catenin in the WNT signaling pathway. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift deletions and insertions, are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and stomach cancer.

AXIN2 is altered in 2.40% of all cancers with colon adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and invasive breast carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
