AXIN1
Overview
Axin 1 (AXIN1) is a gene that encodes a cytoplasmic protein that functions as a negative regulator of the wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 1 (WNT) signaling pathway. The protein also functions in the regulation of apoptotic induction. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, whole gene deletions, frameshift deletions and insertions, and in-frame insertions are observed in cancers such as biliary tract cancer, liver cancer, and salivary gland cancer.
AXIN1 is altered in 1.58% of all cancers with colon adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, and prostate adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
The most common alterations in AXIN1 are AXIN1 Mutation (1.15%), AXIN1 Loss (0.15%), AXIN1 Amplification (0.15%), AXIN1 X372_splice (0.03%), and AXIN1 H534Q (0.02%) [3].
