Aminopeptidase N regulated by zinc in human prostate participates in tumor cell invasion

Aminopeptidase N (AP‐N) degrades collagen type IV and is proposed to play a role in tumor invasion. However, the precise functions of AP‐N in tumor cells and the relationship of AP‐N to prostate cancer remains unclear. In our study, we examined a possible role for zinc in the regulation of AP‐N enzy...
