PANCREATIC CANCER GENE (CONTINUED)

1' KRT20: keratin related gene, most likely of an early expression in neoplastic transformation
more predictive and diagnostic than of less therapeutic potential.

2-TEM 7: The blood vessels of Tumors seems to have an exclusive marker called Tumor Endothelial Marker or TEM.   Target therapy directed at this stuff may lead tumor to anoxic death by closing these vessels, at least that the wish of researchers, will follow their efforts!
Certainly this used as serologic marker or radiologically, can locate metastatic lesions.

3-MAP2K4" direct activator of the MAPK/c-JUNK through MAP8& 14. (Not the standard MAPK1)
but it also interact with an anchor called Filamin Though FLNC, filamin is actin binding protein, raising the issue of whether or not it is using this tract to quickly influence the Nucleus or whether it allows it to phosphorylate things right there!  we know its expression is, like the MTOR stimulated path, preserving survival!  Does this open the door to MTOR Inhibitor in Pancreatic cancer? Does expression of this pathway, an opportunity to introduce MTOR inhibitors?

4-BAT-26

BAT 26 IS THEREFORE AN INDICATOR OF MICRO-SATELLITE INSTABILITY STATUS IN CANCER.
