“…Examination of AGR2 amino acid sequence reveals a single CXXS active domain motif (AA 81 to 84 ) (Figure 1) for oxidation and reduction reactions (17,41), and the N-terminal region (AA 21 to 44) (Figure 1), which is responsible for the cell adhesion properties of AGR2 (18). In addition to being an ER-resident protein, AGR2 is also localized in cytoplasm (58), nucleus (30,33), mitochondria (32), cell surface (12), extracellular matrix (14), and blood and urine (6,13,14), although the mechanism by which AGR2 accesses the cytoplasm, nucleus and extracellularly is unclear.…”
