关于 ADAM7

功能概要

该基因编码锌蛋白酶 ADAMs 家族的一个成员。这些跨膜蛋白在多个过程中发挥作用，包括细胞信号传导、粘附和迁移。编码的蛋白质缺乏蛋白酶活性，可能在蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用和细胞粘附过程中发挥作用，包括精子-卵子融合。该基因的突变可能与黑色素瘤的进展有关。[RefSeq 提供，2011 年 10 月]

This gene encodes a member of the ADAMs family of zinc proteases. These transmembrane proteins play roles in multiple processes including cell signaling, adhesion and migration. The encoded protein lacks protease activity and may play roles in protein-protein interactions and cell adhesion processes including sperm-egg fusion. Mutations in this gene may be involved in the progression of melanoma. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
