AIM: To evaluate the significance of KL-6/MUC1 (a type of MUC1) glycosylation in pancreatic cancer progression.
Inositol requiring enzyme-1 (IRE1) is highly conserved from yeasts to humans. Upon endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, IRE1 activates X-box-binding protein 1 (XBP1) by unconventional splicing of XBP1 mRNA, which ...
