Proteolytic Cleavage of Versican During Limb Joint Development [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2010 AbstractVersican is highly expressed in developing joint interzones during limb morphogenesis. This study was undertaken to examine whether proteolytic cleavage of versican occurs that could potentially impact its function during the process of embryonic synovial joint formation.
