Abstract excerpt
The ectodomain of different transmembrane molecules is released by a proteolytic event known as shedding. The metalloprotease disintegrin proTNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) is responsible for the shedding of various proteins, including protransforming growth factor-alpha (proTGF-alpha) and amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP). Inactive TACE accumulates in the early secretory pathway of cell mutants (M1 and M2)...
