Structures of replacement vectors for efficient gene targeting.

abstract：:Matriptase is a type II transmembrane serine protease expressed abundantly in the epithelial cells and keratinocyte. It plays a key role in the establishment and maintenance of epithelial integrity. Matriptase is considered to be at the most upstream in cellular protease cascade. Activation of its zymogen is the most ...
