PANC-1

The cells can metastasize but have poor differentiation abilities.

[2] PANC-1 cells take 52 hours to double in population, have a modal chromosome number of 63, and show G6PD of the slow mobility type.

The cells can be frozen and regrown in culture, provided that they are appropriately warmed.

Additionally, PANC-1 cells have a tendency to clump, a feature which can be avoided with trypsinization.

[3] PANC-1 cells have been used to study the role of keratin reorganization during the migration of cancer cells, along with calcium-mediated actin reset in response to physiological changes.
