ADAMs are a family of proteins that consist of multi-domains, possess multi-functions and play a central role in normal or abnormal physiological conditions, such as regeneration and tumorigenesis. To investigate the expression and functional alteration of the ADAMs or ADAM related proteins in Chang-liver cells, this cell line was treated with heat stress, modified Hanks solution containing ATP or other buffers. Our results showed that the treatment with Hanks solution containing ATP induces Chang-liver cells to express new ADAM related proteins. To analyze these new ADAM related proteins, a cDNA expression library was constructed for the treated Chang-liver cells. A series of positive clones were obtained through immunoscreening with an ADAMs common antibody. A new ADAM related protein possessing alkaline protease activity was confirmed in these clones Chang-liver cell, non-nutrition medium, ADAMs, ADAM related protein, immunoscreening, alkaline protease |
