Role of matriptase in the regulation of epithelial barrier permeability studied using MDCK cells

The typeNII transmembrane serine protease matriptase plays an important role in the integrity of epithelial barriers. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of matriptase are unknown. To study these mechanisms, two variants of MadinNDarby canine kidney (MDCK) cells were used, together...
