Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hypersecretion of the precursor of the lysosomal protease cathepsin D (procathepsin D) has been implicated in the invasive phenotype of human breast cancer. However, the mechanism of the abnormal secretion of procathepsin D remains unclear. Since the mannose 6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor II receptor (M6P/IGF2R) plays a central role in the intracellular transport and endocytosis of...
