Identification of Desmoglein-2 as a novel target of Helicobacter pylori HtrA in epithelial cells

Abstract Background High temperature requirement A (HtrA) is an active serine protease secreted by the group-I carcinogen Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). The human cell adhesion protein and tumor suppressor E-cadherin (hCdh1) expressed on the surface of gastric epithelial cells was identified as th...
