AHNAK2 mRNA expression was found to be raised in seven standard pancreatic cancer cell lines (AsPC-1, BxPC-3, Capan-2, CFPAC-1, HPAF-II, PANC-1, and SW 1990) (p < 0.005) in comparison to an immortalised non-tumorigenic pancreatic epithelial cell line (HPDE-6) [50]. Here, AHNAK2 is linked to pancreatic neoplasm.
