Effect of ADAM28 on Carcinoma Cell Metastasis by Cleavage of von Willebrand Factor
25 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 28 (ADAM28) is implicated in tumor growth and metastasis in human breast and non-small cell lung carcinomas. We explored the mechanism of ADAM28-mediated metastasis by searching for new substrates of ADAM28. METHODS: We used a yeast two-hybrid system to screen the human lung cDNA library for ADAM28-binding proteins and identified von Willebrand factor (VWF) as a...
