General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function meprin-beta regulates production of pro-inflammatory factors via a disintegrin and metalloproteinase-10 (ADAM-10) dependent pathway in macrophages. Meprin-beta increases the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1beta, interleukin-18 and interleukin-6 in macrophages, but shows no effects on the level of ligands of epidermal growth factor receptor and its activation. Activation of NF-kappaB by meprin-beta is mediated by inhibiting ADAM10-downstream extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK1/2) pathway, molecular mechanism, overview. Meprin-beta significantly induces the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and its upstream MEK1/2 Homo sapiens
