| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) was originally identified as a tumor suppressor protein. In the present study, we investigated phenotypes of the APC1638T mouse, which lacks the C-terminus of APC but retains β-catenin-binding domain thus being free of tumors. Various phenotypes of the APC1638T mouse were revealed. Both length of the small intestine and that from the bottom of an intestinal crypt and the tip of a villus in the APC1638T mouse are longer than that in wild-type one. Velocity of the intestinal epithelial cell movement along the villus in the APC1638T mouse is faster than that in wild-type one. Also, the APC1638T mouse exhibited skeletal disorders (short limbs, kyphosis and mal-calcification), lacking of limb-cooperation in gait, and hair-cycle irregularities.
