MeSH definition : A disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein that cleaves the membrane-bound
precursor of TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA to its mature form. It cleaves several other
CELL SURFACE PROTEINS, including INTERLEUKIN-1 RECEPTOR TYPE II; TRANSFORMING GROWTH
FACTOR ALPHA; L-SELECTIN; MUCIN-1; and AMYLOID BETA-PROTEIN PRECURSOR. It can also
function as an activator of the Notch signaling pathway by mediating the cleavage
of NOTCH RECEPTORS.;
