localizes near basal bodies of primary cilia, and endocytosis is required for the localization of ADAMTS9 near the basal bodies  |
basic FUNCTION
| cleaving the large aggregating proteoglycans, aggrecan and versican |
|
acting as an intramolecular chaperone whose glycosylation is critical for secretion of the mature enzyme (propeptide activity) |
|
is a putative tumor suppressor gene in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) that is significantly associated with lymph node metastases  |
|
participates in melanoblast development and is a tumor suppressor in esophageal and nasopharyngeal cancer  |
|
ADAMTS9 is a novel, constitutive, endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor that operates cell-autonomously in ECs via molecular mechanisms that are distinct from those used by ADAMTS1  |
|
novel function of ADAMTS9 in the ER that promotes protein transport from the ER to the Golgi (this function is GON-domain dependent but protease activity independent)  |
|
is a critical tumor suppressor of gastric cancer progression at least in part through suppression of oncogenic AKT/MTOR signaling  |
|
potential role of ADAMTS9 in the remodeling of the ECM in these structures by degradation of versican  |
