MeSH definition : A disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein that is expressed as
two alternatively-spliced forms: a long transmembrane form (ADAM12-L) and a short
soluble form (ADAM12-S). It modulates the cleavage of INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR
BINDING PROTEINS and may also regulate CELL FUSION during MYOGENESIS.;
MeSH synonym : ADAM-12 Protein; Meltrin-alpha Protein; Meltrin alpha Protein; Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase Domain-Containing Protein 12; Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase Domain Containing Protein 12; ADAM 12 Protein;
