Abstract excerpt
A disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) 10 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein responsible for the ectodomain shedding of a range of proteins including the amyloid precursor protein implicated in Alzheimer's disease. In this study we demonstrate that ADAM10 itself is subject to shedding by one or more ADAMs. Expression of epitope-tagged wild-type ADAM10 in SH-SY5Y cells enabled the detection of a soluble...
