Cell membrane, Type I membrane protein. Also localized in the Golgi apparatus
Clonality
polyclonal
Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) protein family. ADAM family members are type I transmembrane glycoproteins known to be involved in cell adhesion and proteolytic ectodomain processing of cytokines and adhesion molecules. This protein contains multiple functional domains including a zinc-binding metalloprotease domain, a disintegrin-like domain, as well as a EGF-like domain. Through its disintegrin-like domain, this protein specifically interacts with the integrin beta chain, beta 3. It also interacts with Src family protein-tyrosine kinases in a phosphorylation-dependent manner, suggesting that this protein may function in cell-cell adhesion as well as in cellular signaling. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed.

Description
Specificity: Not tested with other proteinsRelevance: ADAM15, also known as Metargidin and MDC15, is a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease like domain) family. It was first described in mammary epithelial carcinoma cells as a membrane anchored Metalloprotease Disintegrin with RGD sequence (MetaRGiDin). Mouse ADAM15 does not contain the RGD sequence; instead the mouse ADAM15 has a TDD in its place. Like ADAM9 and ADAM12, there are SH3 ligand domains in the cytoplasmic portion of ADAM15, suggesting regulation routes for ADAM15 via Src and Src tyrosine kinase. ADAM15 contains the canonical HExxHxxxxxH zinc metalloproteinase motif, and has been shown to be proteolytically active. Full length ADAM15, 814 amino acids, has a predicted mass of 85 kDa, but due to glycosylation and cysteine rich regions, the reduced protein migrates to 110 kDa (unprocessed) and 84 kDa (processed). ADAM15 is widely expressed in normal tissues and tumor cell lines, and is expressed on the cell surface, anchored by the transmembrane domain. It is also elevated in osteoarthritic and rheumatoid synovial tissues, suggesting an inflammatory role. ADAM15 may also act as a cell attachment molecule by binding the integrins avbeta3 and a5beta1 through the cysteine rich domain and/or RGD sequence
