Evidence of pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) in pancreatic islet cells by confocal microscopy.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Invasion and metastasis of pancreatic cancer (PC) require cell motility and adhesion, which depend on the activity of cytoskeleton. A cytoskeletal component indispensable for these processes is myosin II, the cytoplasmic analogue of smooth and skeletal muscle myosin. AIMS AND METHODOLOGY:Because the activ...
