The gene APC-like is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\Apc (CG1451, FBgn0015589). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: beta-catenin binding. There is experimental evidence for 15 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: single-organism developmental process; biological regulation; system development; cellular component organization or biogenesis; localization; regulation of Wnt receptor signaling pathway; cell proliferation; larval chitin-based cuticle development; cellular process; regulation of developmental process; cellular macromolecule localization; regulation of cellular component organization; establishment or maintenance of cytoskeleton polarity; embryonic development via the syncytial blastoderm; instar larval development; regulation of signal transduction. 17 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: external compound sense organ; organ system subdivision; peripheral nervous system; organ system; histaminergic neuron; adult; portion of tissue; multi-tissue structure; male organism; somatic cell of testis. It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) family; Adenomatous polyposis coli protein, 15 residue repeat; Adenomatous polyposis coli protein, cysteine-rich repeat; Armadillo; Armadillo-like helical; Armadillo-type fold. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of low expression. Peak expression observed within 00-06 and 12-18 hour embryonic stages, at stages throughout the pupal period. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Nearly all larval and adult tissues/organs expressed at moderate levels. Expression at high levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: larval/adult central nervous system. Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult head, adult eye, adult crop, larval/adult midgut, larval/adult hindgut, larval/adult Malpighian tubules, adult heart, larval/adult fat body, larval/adult salivary gland, larval trachea, adult female reproductive system, adult male accessory gland, larval/adult carcass. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1628548_at completely aligns to an exonic region of the only FlyBase-annotated transcript isoform of Apc. Gene sequence location is 3R:24658023..24670470.

Apc transcripts are observed in very early embyros and are not seen again until after germ band retraction. At that time they are concentrated in the CNS where they are restricted to postmitotic cells. Transcripts are also found in the epidermis.
The Apc protein colocalizes with shot on microtubules in mature tendon cells of third instar larvae. There is a focus of staining overlapping a compact microtubule array near the muscle-tendon junction. This unique subcellular structure extends to the cuticle attachment site.
Apc protein is detected in the nervous system of embryos from germ-band retraction on. It localizes to axon fiber tracts and motor neurons. Initially, similar levels are found in longitudinal and commissural tracts. Later, staining is more intense in the longitudinal tracts and is distributed in patches or streaks within specific fibers in the longitudinal tracts.
Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Nearly all larval and adult tissues/organs expressed at moderate levels. Expression at high levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: larval/adult central nervous system. Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult head, adult eye, adult crop, larval/adult midgut, larval/adult hindgut, larval/adult Malpighian tubules, adult heart, larval/adult fat body, larval/adult salivary gland, larval trachea, adult female reproductive system, adult male accessory gland, larval/adult carcass.

Apc is capable of down-regulating β-catenin in a colon carcinoma cell line and of interacting with the arm protein in vivo. Its expression pattern and preliminary genetic analysis suggest that it may not be an essential component of arm regulation in the wg pathway.
