abstract：:Toxicants can perturb cellular homeostasis by modifying phosphorylation-based signaling. In the present study, we examined the effects of cerulein, an inducer of acute pancreatitis, on keratin 8 (K8) phosphorylation. We found that cerulein dose-dependently induced K8 phosphorylation and perinuclear reorganization in P...
