Purpose: Tumor-associated protein called as anterior gradient 2 (AGR2), which is defined particularly in breast and lung carcinomas, is involved in a variety of cellular functions such as cell migration, differentiation and proliferation. Since the role of AGR2 expression in pituitary adenomas is not well known yet, it was aimed to compare AGR2 expression in normal pituitary tissue and pituitary adenoma specimens in the study.Material and Method: We incl...
