Specific syndecan-1 domains regulate mesenchymal tumor cell adhesion, motility and migration.

<h4>Background</h4>Syndecans are proteoglycans whose core proteins have a short cytoplasmic domain, a transmembrane domain and a large N-terminal extracellular domain possessing glycosaminoglycan chains. Syndecans are involved in many important cellular processes. Our recent publications...
