- Abstract:
- ... Somatostatin receptor type 5 (SST5) represents the main pharmacological target in the treatment of adrenocorticotroph hormone (ACTH)-secreting tumors. However, molecular predictors of responsiveness to pasireotide require further investigation. The cytoskeleton protein filamin A (FLNA) modulates the responsiveness to somatostatin analogs (SSA) treatment in other types of pituitary tumors by regula ...
