The Shedding of Membrane-anchored Heparin-binding Epidermal-like Growth Factor Is Regulated by the Raf/Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Cascade and by Cell Adhesion and Spreading

Heparin-binding epidermal-like growth factor (HB-EGF) is synthesized as a transmembrane precursor (HB-EGFTM). The addition of phorbol ester (PMA, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) to cells expressing HB-EGFTM results in the metalloproteinase-dependent release (shedding) of soluble HB-EGF. To analyze...
