Abstract excerpt
We previously implicated tumor necrosis factor-alpha converting enzyme (TACE/ADAM17) in the processing of the integral membrane precursor to soluble transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), pro-TGF-alpha. Here we examined TGF-alpha processing in a physiologically relevant cell model, primary keratinocytes, showing that cells lacking TACE activity shed dramatically less TGF-alpha as compared with wild-type...
