To understand whether ASK1-mediated phosphorylation of EB1 contributes to pancreatic cancer development, we analyzed the expression of ASK1, EB1, and EB1 phosphorylated at T206 (pT206-EB1) in clinical samples from pancreatic cancer patients (Figures 1A-1C). This evidence concerns the gene MAP3K5 and familial pancreatic carcinoma.
