Pro-protein convertase gene expression in human breast cancer
11 Jun 1997
Abstract excerpt
As a first step towards elucidating the role that pro-protein convertases play in the growth regulation of breast cancer, we studied the gene expression of 6 known human convertase members (PC1/PC3, PC2, furin/PACE, PACE4, PC5/PC6 and PC7/LPC) in human breast cancer tumors and cell lines. PC1, furin, PACE4 and PC7 mRNAs were detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) amplification in all...
