26 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
ADAM-9 belongs to a family of transmembrane disintegrin-containing metalloproteinases (ADAMs) involved in protein ectodomain shedding and cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. However, the specific biological functions of ADAM-9 are still unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze the expression of ADAM-9 in melanoma in vivo and in melanoma cell lines in vitro. In melanoma ADAM-9 protein expression appeared...
