PANCREATIC CANCER RELATED GENE TTLL4

摘要

The present invention relates to the roles played by TTLL4 genes in pancreatic cancer carcinogenesis and features a method for treating or preventing pancreatic cancer by administering a double-stranded molecule against one or more of the TTLL4 genes or a composition, vector or cell containing such a double stranded molecule. Also, disclosed are methods of identifying compounds for treating and preventing pancreatic cancer, using as an index their effect on the over-expression of TTLL4 in the pancreatic cancer cell.
