Human Caucasian pancreas

Established from a pancreatic carcinoma of ductal origin from a 56-year-old Caucasian male. Cells possess the type B phenotype for G6PD. The Y chromosome could not be detected in this cell line by short tandem repeat (STR)-PCR analysis when tested at ECACC. It is a known phenomenon that due to the increased genetic instability of cancer cell lines the Y chromosome can be rearranged or lost resulting in lack of detection. The cell line is identical to the source provided by the depositor based on the STR-PCR analysis.

Human PANC-1 cell line has been used to study the role of the intermediate filament keratin reorganization on the alignment and migration of cancer cells. It has also been used to study calcium-mediated actin reset (CaAR) in response to physiological changes.
