ADAM10 ADAM metallopeptidase domain 10

Gene ID: 102, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: RAK; kuz; AD10; AD18; MADM; CD156c; CDw156; HsT18717

Summary

Members of the ADAM family are cell surface proteins with a unique structure possessing both potential adhesion and protease domains. This gene encodes and ADAM family member that cleaves many proteins including TNF-alpha and E-cadherin. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different proteins that may undergo similar processing. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
