PURPOSE: A method for diagnosing pancreatic cancer is provided to accurately and early diagnose pancreatic cancer because alkaline phosphatase placental like-2 (ALPPL-2) protein is specifically secreted from various pancreatic cancer cell lines. CONSTITUTION: A method for providing information for diagnosing pancreatic cancer comprises the step of measuring the amount of ALPPL2 in a patient sample. The patient sample is selected from a pancreatic tissue, pancreatic cells, blood, serum, plasma, saliva, sputum, and urine. ALPPL2 contains an amino acid sequence of sequence number 2. The amount of ALPPL2 is measured by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or western blotting. |
