ADAM17 is the Principal Ectodomain Sheddase of the EGF-Receptor Ligand Amphiregulin

2017-11-13

Abstract excerpt

The epidermal growth factor (EGF)-receptor ligand amphiregulin (AREG) is a potent growth factor implicated in proliferative skin diseases and in primary and metastatic epithelial cancers. AREG in vitro , synthesized as a pro-peptide, requires conversion to an active peptide by metalloproteases by a process known as ectodomain shedding. Although, (Adam17) a disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 is implicated in ectod...
