Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-converting enzyme (TACE, ADAM-17) is a zinc-dependent ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) metalloproteinase (MP) of the metzincin superfamily. The enzyme regulates the shedding of a variety of cell surface-anchored molecules such as cytokines, growth factors, and receptors. The activities of the MPs are modulated by the endogenous inhibitors, the tissue inhibitor of...
