AMER1 and neoplasm: The N-terminal armadillo repeat (ARM) domain of APC is the most conserved region among its vertebrate and invertebrate homologs [9, 10], and mediates its association with a variety of binding partners including APC membrane recruitment 1 (Amer1, also named as WTX for ‘Wilms tumor gene on the X chromosome’) [11, 12], Asef [13], Sam68 [14], and IQGAP1 [15].
