Description
Product Characteristics: Adam22 is a probable ligand for integrin in the brain. This is a non catalytic metalloprotease-like protein. Adam22 is involved in regulation of cell adhesion and spreading and in inhibition of cell proliferation.Adam22 is asneuronal receptor for LGI1. Synonyms: Polyclonal Adam22 antibody, Anti-Adam22 antibody, a disintegrin and metallopeptidase domain 22 antibody, 2900022I03Rik antibody, AI854032 antibody, MDC2 antibody.
Target Information: 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. Unlike other members of the ADAM protein family, the protein encoded by this gene lacks metalloprotease activity since it has no zinc-binding motif. This gene is highly expressed in the brain and may function as an integrin ligand in the brain. In mice, it has been shown to be essential for correct myelination in the peripheral nervous system. Alternative splicing results in several transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
