Organ Length Control by an ADAMTS Extracellular Protease in Caenorhabditis elegans

Organ Length Control by an ADAMTS Extracellular Protease in Caenorhabditis elegans

MIG-17, a secreted protease of the ADAMTS family, acts in the directed migration of gonadal distal tip cells (DTCs) through regulation of the gonadal basement membrane in Caenorhabditis elegans. Here, we show that MIG-17 is also required for the control of pharynx elongation during animal growth. We...
