Multimeric Structure of the Secreted Meprin A Metalloproteinase and Characterization of the Functional Protomer
Meprin A secreted from kidney and intestinal epithelial cells is capable of cleaving growth factors, extracellular matrix proteins, and biologically active peptides. The secreted form of meprin A is a homo-oligomer composed of α subunits, a multidomain protease of 582 amino acids coded for near the...
