ADAM10 and PAX2 were co-expressed in melanocytes of benign nevi (Fig. 5A, higher magnification of melanocytes expressing ADAM10 and PAX2 is depicted in the inset) and in melanoma cells of patients with malignant melanoma (Fig. 5B+C, higher magnifications of melanoma cells expressing ADAM10 and PAX2 are depicted in the insets). Here, ADAM10 is linked to melanoma.
