“…Tetraspanin-associated proteases include ADAM10, ADAM17, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), tetraspanin-non-associated exosomal protease is 20S proteasome, PAPP-A etc. (Yunusova et al, 2018;Kondakova et al, 2020). ADAMs are multifunctional proteins that perform shedding that leads to the cleavage of the extracellular domain of transmembrane proteins (EGFR1, Her2, TGFbeta-IIIR, L1CAM, CD44, EpCAM) thereby regulating cell adhesion, migration, and intercellular interactions (Burbano et al, 2015).…”
