Nidogen-1 Degraded by Cathepsin S can be Quantified in Serum and is Associated with Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer
Loss of basement membrane (BM) integrity is typically associated with cancer. Nidogen-1 is an essential component of the BM. Nidogen-1 is a substrate for cathepsin-S (CatS) which is released into the tumor microenvironment. Measuring nidogen-1 degraded by CatS may therefore have biomarker potential...
