Reelin is a large protein that is essential for brain development. Reelin is proteolytically cleaved at specific sites. In this study, we aimed to clarify the molecular mechanism of proteolytic cleavage of Reelin. We found following points.(1) Reelin does not have the proteolytic activity.(2) A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4(ADAMTS-4) can cleave Reelin in an isoform-dependent manner.(3) Reelin with an intact CTR binds to a transmembrane protein that is different from the well-known Reelin receptors.
