AdamTS-B protease is required for morphogenesis of the Drosophila respiratory system

Epithelial tube morphogenesis is critical for the function of many organs. Basement membranes underlie epithelia and their remodeling is a key step to reach the correct size and shape. Key regulators that mediate basement membrane remodeling for tube elongation and branching remain largely unknown. We analyze the expression and function of AdamTS-B, a matrix metalloprotease, in the respiratory…
