Bom-PTSP |
bone- and odontoblast-expressed gene 1 |
OXM(19-37) |
||
A permanent cell line derived from a metastatic human carcinoid tumor of the pancreas (Evers et al, 1991; Parekh et al, 1994). The cells produce tumors in nude mice. BON cells grow in monolayer culture and form colonies in soft agar (see also: Colony formation assay).
The cells express functional receptors for acetylcholine, 5-HT, isoproterenol, gastrin, and somatostatin. The cells overexpress N-ras and contain a homozygous point mutation of the N-ras gene. The cells also show increased expression of myc (Arany et al, 1994). The neu gene is amplified in these cells
