ADAM23
Background
FUNCTION: May play a role in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. This is a non-catalytic metalloprotease-like protein.
SUBUNIT: Ligand for integrin alpha-V/γ,-3.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 peptidase M12B domain.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane, single-pass type I membrane protein (Potential). Secreted protein. Isoform Gamma.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in the brain and weakly expressed in the heart. In the brain, expressed prominently in the amygdala, caudate nucleus, hypothalamus, thalamus, cerebral cortex and occipital pole.
DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Highly expressed in the fetal brain.
DOMAIN:A conserved motif AVN[ED]CD within the disintegrin-like domain could be involved in the binding to the integrin receptor.
SUMMARY: This protein is 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. This protein is highly expressed in the brain and may function as an integrin ligand in the brain.
