Background: Aryl hydrocarbon receptor interacting protein (AIP) mutations have been identified in ~15% of patients with familial isolated pituitary adenomas (FIPA). In addition, dysregulation of the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signalling pathway has been identified in both syndromic and sporadic somatotropinomas. While crosstalk between these two systems is known to occur, the exact mechanism of interaction remains elusive. The identification of direct binding...
