Correlation of glypican-1 expression with TGF-β, BMP, and activin receptors in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
1 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Glypican1 (GPC1) is a cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan that acts as a co-receptor for heparin-binding growth factors as well as for members of the TGF-beta family. GPC1 plays a role in pancreatic cancer by regulating growth factor responsiveness. In view of the importance of members of the TGF-beta family in pancreatic cancer, in the present study, the role of GPC1 in TGF-beta, BMP and activin signaling...
