Specifically, a disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM) 9, ADAM10, and ADAM17/ tumor necrosis factor-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) degrade BP180/type XVII collagen (152), which is a major autoantigen in bullous pemphigoid while matrix metalloprotease (MMP) 2, 7, 8, 12, 14, 15, and 19 degrades laminins (153), of which trimers are targeted in anti-laminin γ1 pemphigoid (154) and anti-laminin 332 mucous membrane pemphigoid (155). Here, ADAM17 is linked to mucous membrane pemphigoid.
