Background
ADAM metallopeptidase domain 22(ADAM22) Homo sapiens 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],
Function
function:Probable ligand for integrin in the brain. This is a non catalytic metalloprotease-like protein. Involved in regulation of cell adhesion and spreading and in inhibition of cell proliferation.,PTM:The precursor is cleaved by a furin endopeptidase.,similarity:Contains 1 disintegrin domain.,similarity:Contains 1 EGF-like domain.,similarity:Contains 1 peptidase M12B domain.,subunit:Interacts through its C-terminal region with YWHAB/14-3-3 beta and YWHAZ/14-3-3 zeta but not with YWHAE/14-3-3 epsilon or YWHAH/14-3-3 eta.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in the brain and in some high-grade but not low-grade gliomas. Detected slightly or not at all in other tissues.,
