ADAM11 Protein Definition
Encoded by human ADAM11 Gene (ADAM Family, Peptidase M12b Family), the 769-amino acid 83 kD (precursor) type I membrane ADAM11 Protein (isoforms MDC-769 and MDC-524) is implicated in cell-cell/-matrix interactions of muscle development, neurogenesis, and fertilization. Membrane-anchored ADAM zinc metalloproteases contain disintegrin domains related to snake venom disintegrins. A putative integrin ligand, ADAM11 is a metalloprotease-like noncatalytic protein predominantly expressed in brain that contains an EGF-like domain and a conserved disintegrin domain AVN(E/D)CD motif. The precursor may be cleaved by a furin endopeptidase. ADAM11 disruptions occur in breast and ovarian cancers. (from LocusLink, Swiss-Prot, OMIM, and NCI)
