ADAM8/CD156a Protein, Human, Recombinant (aa 17-655, His)

A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase (ADAM) proteases constitute a family of multifunctional, membrane-bound proteins with traditional sheddase functions. Their protumorigenic potential has been attributed to both, essential (ADAM10 and ADAM17) and 'dispensable' ADAM proteases (ADAM8, 9, 12, 15, and 19) . Of specific interest in this review is the ADAM proteinase ADAM8 that has been identified as a significant player in aggressive malignancies including breast, pancreatic, and brain cancer. ADAM8/CD156a Protein, Human, Recombinant (aa 17-655, His) is expressed in HEK293 mammalian cells with C-His tag. The predicted molecular weight is 70.9 kDa and the accession number is P78325.
