Recombinant Human ADAM8/CD156a protein (His tag)

Product Specifications

Background

ADAM8, also known as cell surface antigen MS2 or CD156a, is a member of the ADAM family that contains a disintegrin and metalloprotease-like domain. ADAM8 can cleave a variety of substrates and has been shown as a sheddase for the low affinity IgE receptor CD23 and the neural recognition molecule CHL1. Expression and regulation studies suggest that ADAM8 is a novel osteoclast stimulating factor and may play a role in asthma. It can be activated and assayed under the conditions described in the Activity Assay Protocol.
