Data adapted from Cuevas-Ramos et al. (2015).

GH GranulationDense vs. Sparse Using CAM5.2 Cytokeratin Immunostaining
SST2, SST5Positive vs. negative expression
SST2:SST5High vs. low ratio of average SST2 to SST5
SST5TMD4Low vs. high expression
AIPLack vs. presence of mutation or high vs. low protein expression
β-arrestinLow vs. high score based on intensity and expression pattern
Filamin AHigh vs. low score based on intensity and expression pattern
GspPresence vs. absence of mutation
E-cadherinHigh vs. low score based on intensity and expression pattern
