Quick Overview

Human gastric cancer cell line with ZAK isoform upregulation and potential for targeted therapy research.

Detailed Summary

The NCI-N87 cell line is a human gastric cancer cell line derived from a gastric tumor. It is notable for the preferential upregulation of the ZAK isoform TV1, which has been implicated in cancer progression and is a potential target for therapeutic intervention. Research on NCI-N87 has contributed to understanding the role of ZAK isoforms in gastric cancer and their implications for treatment strategies. This cell line is used in studies related to genomic and transcriptomic alterations, as well as in the identification of potential drug targets through comprehensive sequencing and functional analyses.
