EGF and pancreatic adenocarcinoma: In pancreatic adenocarcinomas, Fibulin-3 binds EGFR (competitive to EGF) causing autophosphorylation of EGFR at Tyr-992 and Tyr-1068 and the subsequent phosphorylation of AKT at Thr-308 and ERK at Thr-202 and Tyr-204 and, thus, accelerates pancreatic adenocarcinoma growth [28].
