Rabbit anti-Human ADAM9 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q13443

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ADAM9

Target Full Name

Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 9

Target Function

Cleaves and releases a number of molecules with important roles in tumorigenesis and angiogenesis, such as TEK, KDR, EPHB4, CD40, VCAM1 and CDH5. May mediate cell-cell, cell-matrix interactions and regulate the motility of cells via interactions with integrins.; May act as alpha-secretase for amyloid precursor protein (APP).

Target Involvement

Cone-rod dystrophy 9 (CORD9)

Target Subcellular Location

[Isoform 1]: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.; [Isoform 2]: Secreted.

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed. Expressed in chondrocytes. Isoform 2 is highly expressed in liver and heart.

Target Synonyms

ADAM 9; ADAM metallopeptidase domain 9; Adam9; ADAM9_HUMAN; Cellular disintegrin-related protein; Cone rod dystrophy 9; CORD9; Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 9; MCMP; MDC9; Meltrin-gamma; Metalloprotease/disintegrin/cysteine-rich protein 9; Mltng; Myeloma cell metalloproteinase

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain) family. Members of this family are membrane-anchored proteins structurally related to snake venom disintegrins, and have been implicated in a variety of biological processes involving cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, including fertilization, muscle development, and neurogenesis. The protein encoded by this gene interacts with SH3 domain-containing proteins, binds mitotic arrest deficient 2 beta protein, and is also involved in TPA-induced ectodomain shedding of membrane-anchored heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene.
