Abstract excerpt
Activating mutations within the K-ras gene occur in a high percentage of human pancreatic carcinomas. We reported previously that the presence of oncogenic, activated K-ras in human pancreatic carcinoma cell lines did not result in constitutive activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1 and ERK2). In the present study, we further characterized the ERK signaling pathway in pancreatic tumor cell...
