The Role of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor-Interacting Protein Gene in Familial and Sporadic Pituitary Adenomas
1 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Mutations have been identified in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein (AIP) gene in familial isolated pituitary adenomas (FIPA). It is not clear, however, how this molecular chaperone is involved in tumorigenesis. OBJECTIVE: AIP sequence changes and expression were studied in FIPA and sporadic adenomas. The function of normal and mutated AIP molecules was studied on cell proliferation and...
