Description

Cell Line Origin

Human primitive neuroectodermal tumour

Cell Line Description

SK-PN-DW has been derived from a male patient with a primitive neuroectodermal tumour that expresses cholecystokinin (cck) RNA and synthesises substantial amounts of pro-cck. SK-PN-DW is able to process the pro-hormone, producing immunoreactive cck-like material plus a peptide that immunochemically and chromatographically resembles intact cck c-terminal extension peptide. Cells have a tendency to float.

Application

Tumour lines should prove useful in understanding the regulation of the cck gene in human neuronal cells and will also provide an in vitro system for investigation of the post translational processing of the cck preprohormone.
