FunFam 2: Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containin...

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
ADAM 17 endopeptidase. [EC: 3.4.24.86]
Narrow endopeptidase specificity. Cleaves Pro-Leu-Ala-Gln-Ala-|-Val- Arg-Ser-Ser-Ser in the membrane-bound, 26-kDa form of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). Similarly cleaves other membrane-anchored, cell-surface proteins to 'shed' the extracellular domains.
  • In vivo, the cleavage of tumor necrosis factor alpha precursor releases the soluble, 17-kDa TNF-alpha, which induces inflammation.
  • Belongs to peptidase family M12.
