The two regulatory subunits (R1 and R2) of PKA are differentially expressed in several cancer cell lines and studies indicate distinct roles for these subunits in growth control. Recently, mutations of the regulatory subunit 1A of PKA gene have been identified in patients with Carney complex (CNC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of the different PKA regulatory subunits (R1A, R2A, R2B) in adrenocortical tumors not associated with CNC, as well as the effect...
