Dominant-negative CREB inhibits heparanase functionality and melanoma cell invasion.

Abstract excerpt

Heparanase (HPSE-1) is an endo-beta-D-glucuronidase involved in the degradation of cell-surface/extracellular matrix heparan sulfate (HS) in normal and neoplastic tissues. HPSE-1 represents the first example of purification and cloning of a mammalian HS-degradative enzyme. Elevated HPSE-1 levels are known to be associated with metastatic cancers, directly implicating HPSE-1 in metastatic events. The purpose of...
