Deskripsi

Ciliogenesis is a complex process requiring hundreds of molecules, although few secreted proteins have been implicated. Here, the authors show that the secreted metalloproteases ADAMTS9 and ADAMTS20 intracellularly regulate ciliogenesis from unique periciliary vesicles with proteolytic activity.
