Analysis of the Proteolytic Processing of ABCA3: Identification of Cleavage Site and Involved Proteases.

RATIONALE:ABCA3 is a lipid transporter in the limiting membrane of lamellar bodies in alveolar type II cells. Mutations in the ABCA3 gene cause respiratory distress syndrome in new-borns and childhood interstitial lung disease. ABCA3 is N-terminally cleaved by an as yet unknown protease, a process b...
