Outline of Final Research Achievements |
TNF-alpha converting enzyme (Tace), also known as a disintegrin and metallopeptidase domain 17 (Adam17), is a transmembrane enzyme which regulates various signaling pathways. Here, we have investigated how Tace regulates osteoarthritis development. Cell culture experiments and mouse experiments have revealed that Tace exerts catabolic effects on chondrocytes or cartilage.
