Anti-ADA15 ADAM15 Antibody

Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 15; ADAM 15;3.4.24.-; Metalloprotease RGD disintegrin protein; Metalloproteinase-like, disintegrin-like, and cysteine-rich protein 15; MDC-15; Metargidin; ADAM15; MDC15

Expressed in colon and small intestine. Expressed in airway smooth muscle and glomerular mesangial cells (at protein level) . Ubiquitously expressed. Overexpressed in atherosclerotic lesions. Constitutively expressed in cultured endothelium and smooth muscle. Expressed in chondrocytes. Expressed in airway smooth muscle and glomerular mesangial cells.

Active metalloproteinase with gelatinolytic and collagenolytic activity. Plays a role in the wound healing process. Mediates both heterotypic intraepithelial cell/T-cell interactions and homotypic T-cell aggregation. Inhibits beta-1 integrin-mediated cell adhesion and migration of airway smooth muscle cells. Suppresses cell motility on or towards fibronectin possibly by driving alpha-v/beta-1 integrin (ITAGV-ITGB1) cell surface expression via ERK1/2 inactivation. Cleaves E-cadherin in response to growth factor deprivation. Plays a role in glomerular cell migration. Plays a role in pathological neovascularization. May play a role in cartilage remodeling. May be proteolytically processed, during sperm epididymal maturation and the acrosome reaction. May play a role in sperm-egg binding through its disintegrin domain.
