Molecular cloning of seprase: a serine integral membrane protease from human melanoma
1 Jul 1997
Abstract excerpt
Seprase is a homodimeric 170 kDa integral membrane gelatinase whose expression correlates with the invasiveness of the human melanoma cell line LOX. Here, we report the molecular cloning of a cDNA that encodes the 97 kDa subunit of seprase. Its deduced amino acid sequence predicts a type II integral membrane protein with a cytoplasmic tail of 6 amino acids, followed by a transmembrane domain of 20 amino acids and...
