Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations in the CPA1 gene encoding carboxypeptidase A1 were found in association with chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The mutations increase pancreatic disease risk, presumably, by causing proenzyme misfolding and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Previously, we showed that CPA1 N256K mice that carry the p.N256K misfolding human CPA1 mutation in the mouse Cpa1 gene develop...
