Abstract excerpt
The Ras protein is involved in tyrosine kinase signal transduction pathway steps such as EGFR signalling. Most human pancreatic carcinomas harbor a point mutation of K-ras oncogene and overexpress transforming TGF-alpha. We studied how K-ras gene mutation could influence the EGFR signal transduction mechanism and the autonomous proliferation of pancreatic carcinoma cells, using PANC-1 human pancreatic carcinoma...
