| Research Abstract |
Expression of the Slc5a8 gene encoding a short-chain fatty acid transporter was positively regulated by Cdx1/2 in vivo, and its level was reduced in the colonic polyps of Apc mutant mice, accompanied by decreased expression of Cdx2. Plekhg1 was shown to be a direct target gene of Cdx1/2. Plekhg1 was involved in E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion, and bound to 14-3-3 only when phosphorylated at serine 611.
