Kallikrein-8 mediates furin-independent Activin-A precursor processing to stimulate tumor growth in melanoma

Abstract Receptor binding of TGF-β and related ligands such as Activin-A requires cleavage of a furin site in their dimeric precursor proteins. Melanoma cells cleave one Activin-A subunit independently of furin and related proprotein convertases, raising questions of how this half-processed intermed...
