We have found that the metalloprotease ADAM8 is both associated with PSGL-1 through the ezrin–radixin–moesin actin-binding proteins and able to cause the proteolytic cleavage of this adhesion receptor. Accordingly, ADAM8 knockdown increases PSGL-1 expression, and functional assays show that ADAM8 is able to reduce leukocyte rolling on P-selectin and hence on activated endothelial cells. We conclude that ADAM8 modulates the expression and function of PSGL-1.engjournal article1521-4141https://doi.org/10.1002/eji.201141764https://digital.csic.es/handle/10261/63598open access577.112ADAM8AdhesionCell migrationNeutrophilPSGL-1Bioquímica (Biología)2403 Bioquímica
