Tight junction protein zo-2 is differentially expressed in normal pancreatic ducts compared to human pancreatic adenocarcinoma
2 Jul 1999
Abstract excerpt
Differential display of hamster mRNA identified a fragment present in normal pancreatic duct cells that is not expressed in pancreatic duct carcinoma cells. Sequence analysis showed an 88% and 82% identity, respectively, to the cDNA of the canine and human tight junction zo-2 gene. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis of human ZO-2 revealed a striking difference in the expression of various regions of the ZO-2...
