Structure of the proteolytic enzyme PAPP-A with the endogenous inhibitor stanniocalcin-2 reveals its inhibitory mechanism

The metalloproteinase PAPP-A promotes insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling by cleavage of inhibitory IGF binding proteins. Here, the authors report the 3D structure of PAPP-A in complex with its endogenous inhibitor, stanniocalcin-2.
