Lef/Tcf refers to a family of transcription factors that play a crucial role in the Wnt signaling pathway, which is important for cell development and differentiation. These proteins help regulate gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences, influencing various biological processes such as embryonic development and tissue homeostasis. In the context of cancer, abnormal activation of the Wnt pathway and Lef/Tcf factors can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and tumor formation. Research into Lef/Tcf is significant for understanding these mechanisms and developing potential therapeutic strategies for diseases associated with Wnt signaling dysregulation.
