EPCAM and TROP2 share a role in claudin stabilization and development of intestinal and extraintestinal epithelia in mice

Biology Open, 2022
Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EPCAM) is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on the surface of most epithelial and epithelium-derived tumor cells and reported to regulate stability of epithelial tight junction proteins, claudins.

Proteases [PDF]

Current Protocols in Protein Science, 2000
AbstractThe processes of growth and remodeling of cells and tissues in multicellular organisms require the breakdown of old protein molecules, in concert with the synthesis of new ones. For example, many newly‐synthesized molecules require proteolytic processing to convert them to biologically active forms.
