Abstract
Sindecans are a family of cell surface proteoglycans that are involved in numerous biological processes such as migration, proliferation and adhesion. Our group shows that the syndecan-1 has been found in soluble form in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC-9) when treated with phorbol ester (PMA). This increase in soluble form has been associated with reduction of syndecan-1 on the membrane. Int…
