ADAM23 ADAM metallopeptidase domain 23

Gene ID: 8745, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MDC3; MDC-3

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain) family. Members of this family are membrane-anchored proteins structurally related to snake venom disintegrins and have been implicated in a variety of biological processes involving cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, including fertilization, muscle development, and neurogenesis. It is reported that inactivation of this gene is associated with tumorigenesis in human cancers. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
