Abstract excerpt
A wide variety of biological processes including differentiation, regeneration, and cancer progression are regulated by shedding of membrane-anchored proteins. One of the major sheddases is A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease-17 (ADAM17) whose extracellular region consists of a pro-, a catalytic, a disintegrin-, and a membrane-proximal domain (MPD) as well as a short juxtamembrane segment of 17 amino acid residues...
