Cancer-Associated Mutations Reveal a Novel Role for EpCAM as an Inhibitor of Cathepsin-L and Tumor Cell Invasion
2020-12-07
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background</bold>Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a 40-kD type-I transmembrane protein that is frequently overexpressed in human epithelial cancers. Recent evidence implicates EpCAM in the regulation of oncogenic signaling pathways and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Of note, multiple proteins with thyroglobulin-type-1 (TY-1) domains are known to inhibit cathepsin-L...
