NOTCH1 and familial pancreatic carcinoma: In this study, we identified a previously uncharacterized microprotein, Notch1 degradation-associated regulatory polypeptide (N1DARP), encoded by LINC00261. N1DARP knockout accelerated tumor progression and enhanced stem cell properties in pancreatic cancer organoids and LSL-Kras, LSL-Trp53, and Pdx1-Cre (KPC) mice.
