“…AGR2 usually resides within ER for its proteostasis and protein folding functions; it also localizes in other cellular compartments, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and extracellular environment ( Fessart et al, 2021 , Moidu et al, 2020 ). We have reported the role of extracellular AGR2 as paracrine signaling in tumor microenvironment (TME) development ( Mangukiya et al, 2019 , Merugu et al, 2021 ). AGR2 overexpression leads to enhanced cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, and survival, promoting tumor progression and drug resistance ( Li et al, 2015 , Pohler et al, 2004 ).…”
