McGwire G, Becker R, Skidgel R
J Biol Chem . 1999 Oct; 274(44):31632-40. PMID: 10531371
Carboxypeptidase M, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane glycoprotein, is highly expressed in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, where it was previously shown that the glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor and N-linked carbohydrate are apical targeting...

Lee W, Erm S, Kim K, Becker R
Anat Rec . 1999 Sep; 256(2):158-64. PMID: 10486513
The state in which cells can inhabit other cells without damage is known as emperipolesis. Emperipolesis has been found in various physiological and pathological conditions. We performed a study of...

Anticancer Res . 1997 Dec; 17(5A):3233-8. PMID: 9413153
Background: We have reported previously that neutral endopeptidase 24.11 (neprilysin; NEP; CALLA, CD10) activity was very high in rat hepatomas and a cultured human hepatocarcinoma cell line (SK-HEP1). Materials And...

Minshall R, Tan F, Nakamura F, Rabito S, Becker R, Marcic B, et al.
Circ Res . 1997 Nov; 81(5):848-56. PMID: 9351459
Part of the beneficial effects of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are due to augmenting the actions of bradykinin (BK). We studied this effect of enalaprilat on the binding of...

Abe M, Nakamura F, Tan F, Deddish P, Colley K, Becker R, et al.
Hypertension . 1995 Dec; 26(6 Pt 1):891-8. PMID: 7490145
Many properties of urinary kallikrein are well characterized, but the intracellular processing of prokallikrein and release by kidney cells have yet to be clarified. We report here on the synthesis...

Dragovic T, Schraufnagel D, Becker R, Sekosan M, Votta-Velis E, Erdos E
Am J Respir Crit Care Med . 1995 Aug; 152(2):760-4. PMID: 7633739
Carboxypeptidase M (CPM) cleaves the C-terminal arginine and lysine of peptides; it is expressed in the lung, especially on the plasma membrane of alveolar type I cells. Here, we report...

Jackman H, Tan F, Schraufnagel D, Dragovic T, Dezso B, Becker R, et al.
Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol . 1995 Aug; 13(2):196-204. PMID: 7626287
Alveolar macrophages protect the lungs against noxious agents. Proteases and peptidases are essential for this defense and many metabolic activities. Human alveolar macrophages were evaluated for the presence of six...

Circ Res . 1995 May; 76(5):773-80. PMID: 7728994
Specific [125I-Tyr8]bradykinin (BK) binding was observed on myocardial membranes from adult guinea pigs, dogs, rats, and rabbits that was displaced by unlabeled BK with an IC50 between 0.1 and 30...

Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol . 1993 Aug; 9(2):221-9. PMID: 8338689
The presence of high concentrations of membrane-bound carboxypeptidase M in human, baboon, dog, and rat lung was established by employing a variety of techniques. The activity of the enzyme in...
