Summary
APC2 (APC regulator of Wnt signaling pathway 2, HGNC:24036) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19p13.3, encoding Adenomatous polyposis coli protein 2 (O95996). Stabilizes microtubules and may regulate actin fiber dynamics through the activation of Rho family GTPases.
This gene encodes a strongly conserved protein that has an N-terminal coiled-coil domain followed by an armadillo domain, five 20-amino acid repeats, and two SAMP domains. This protein promotes the assembly of a multiprotein complex that recruits and phosphorylates the Wnt effector beta-catenin and targets beta-catenin for ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation. This protein therefore plays a role in the reduction of cytoplasmic levels of beta-catenin which in turn reduces activation of Wnt target genes that play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of various human cancers. The protein encoded by this gene is closely related to the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumor-suppressor protein and has similar tumor-suppressor effects. This gene also plays a role in actin assembly, cell-cell adhesion, and microtubule network formation through its interaction with cytoskeletal proteins. This gene has its highest expression in the central nervous system and is involved in brain development through cytoskeletal regulation in neurons. Alternative splicing produces multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

- APCL uses the 15 amino acid repeats region of APC to target beta-catenin for degradation. (PMID:23840886)
- We report that APC-2 gene is hypermethylated in both RB tumor samples and Y79 cells. Reduced APC-2 lead to increased Wnt signaling pathway protein, beta-catenin suggesting tumor suppressive role of APC-2 gene. (PMID:25207834)
- miR-939 functioned as a potential tumor promoter by regulating the Wnt/beta-catenin signal pathway through direct suppression of APC2 expression. (PMID:25960217)

- Functional redundancy between Apc and Apc2 regulates tissue homeostasis and prevents tumorigenesis in murine mammary epithelium (PMID:27694902)
- double knockdown of APC2 and miR-4326 promoted lung cancer cell proliferation, confirming that miR-4326 promoted lung cancer cell proliferation by inhibiting APC2. (PMID:29101731)
- APC2 3’-UTR is targeted by hsa-miR-11181. (PMID:29111205)
- We have also identified a functionally important SUMO interacting motif in the cullin-homology domain of APC2 located near the APC4 sumoylation sites and APC/C catalytic core. Our findings provide evidence of an important regulatory role for SUMO modification and binding in affecting APC/C activation and mitotic exit. (PMID:29517484)
- It has been found that APC2 localizes as distinct clusters along microtubule bundles in dendrites, and that this localization is driven by LC8-binding and two separate microtubule-interacting domains. (PMID:30018294)
- Results report that APC2 was hypermethylated in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues and cell lines. An inverse correlation was observed between the APC2 methylation and its transcriptional levels. Furthermore, APC2_CPG_14 was an independent risk factor for overall survival in CRC patients. This study indicates that APC2 is hypermethylated and may be a tumorigenesis biomarker for Chinese CRC patients. (PMID:30510602)
- Hsa_circ_0009361 acted as a tumor suppressive sponge of miR-582, which could up-regulate the expression of APC2, inhibit the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, and suppress the growth and metastasis of colorectal cancer (PMID:31109967)

Tissue specificity. Widely expressed (at protein level). Specifically expressed in the CNS.
Disease relevance. Intellectual developmental disorder, autosomal recessive 74 (MRT74) [MIM:617169] A disorder characterized by intellectual impairment, macrocephaly, and dysmorphic features. Epilepsy with eyelid myoclonus has also been reported. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Cortical dysplasia, complex, with other brain malformations 10 (CDCBM10) [MIM:618677] An autosomal recessive disorder of aberrant neuronal migration during brain development. CDCBM10 is clinically characterized by onset in infancy of global developmental delay, impaired intellectual development, seizures, inability to ambulate, and absent language. Brain imaging shows lissencephaly, cortical dysplasia, subcortical heterotopia, and paucity of white matter. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
