摘要

Cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) at the membrane-proximal extracellular position, termed the alpha secretase site, prevents the generation of amyloidogenic Aβ peptide (Fig. 1). Since the aggregation of Aβ peptides has been associated with the development of Alzheimer's disease the responsible α-secretase became an important subject of research. Almost 20?years ago this protease was identified as ADAM10 which stands for a disintegrin and a metalloproteinase [1]. Since then, researchers identified an increasing number of other ADAM10 substrates most prominently including Notch, EGF-like growth factors, some adhesion molecules, and ephrins and their receptors. Besides its function in development which largely depends on the cleavage of Notch, ADAM10 was found to play crucial roles in physiologic and pathophysiologic processes. Accumulating evidence suggests an important involvement of ADAM10 in migration of various cell types including leukocytes, various tissue cells, and cancer cells [2]. It seems that the underlying mechanisms can be very diverse owing to ADAM10's numerous substrates including ephrins, growth factors, adhesion molecules, transmembrane chemokines or respective receptors.
