Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase Domain-Containing Protein 10 - CISMeF
Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase Domain-Containing Protein 10NCIt concept
Preferred Label : Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase Domain-Containing Protein 10;
NCIt synonyms : Kuzbanian Protein Homolog; CD156c; EC 3.4.24.81; ADAM 10; Mammalian Disintegrin-Metalloprotease; CDw156; Antigen CD156c; ADAM10;
NCIt definition : Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 10 (748 aa, 84 kDa) is
encoded by the human ADAM10 gene. This protein plays a role in the mediation of proteolysis
of plasma membrane proteins.;
NCIt note : Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 10 cleaves the membrane-bound
precursor of TNF-alpha to its mature soluble form, mediates alpha-secretase cleavage
of amyloid precursor protein and regulates notch signaling through proteolysis. Other
ADAM10 substrates include heparin-binding epidermal growth-like factor, ephrin-A2,
cellular prion protein and the adhesion molecule L1. (UniProt);
