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. This member is a type I transmembrane protein and serves as a marker for dendritic cell differentiation. It has also been demonstrated to be an active metalloproteinase, which may be involved in normal physiological and pathological processes such as cells migration, cell adhesion, cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, and signal transduction. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants.

Description
Specificity: Not tested with other proteinsRelevance: ADAM19, is a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease-like domain) family. It has been cloned from mouse and human. ADAM19 was first described in muscle cells as a protein with homology to the fertilins (ADAMs 1 and 2). Initial observations indicated a role for ADAM19 in myoblast fusion, similar to sperm-egg fusion aided by ADAMs 1 and 2. Later works describe ADAM19 in the bone, muscle, lung, heart, brain, kidney, and a wide range of tissues The Cytoplasmic domain of ADAM19, like ADAMs 9, 12 and 15, contains SH3 ligand domains, which are thought to interact with PKC-d, suggesting specific regulation routes for ADAM19. Also reported is a sequence of ADAM19 lacking the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains, suggesting that a soluble form is produced. ADAM-19 contains the canonical HExxHxxxxxH zinc metalloproteinase motif, and has been shown to be proteolytically active. Other ADAMs family members (ADAM-10, ADAM-17) have been more thoroughly studied, and are known to play key roles in inflammation, growth factor maturation and release, and a wide range of other functions. The full length ADAM19 sequence codes for a 956 amino acid protein, containing a Type-I transmembrane domain, with a predicted mass is 105 kD. Two shorter sequences have been reported: a 918 amino acid sequence that differs at the carboxyterminal end, and the soluble form, a 538 amino acid version with predicted mass of 59.9 kD. Mouse ADAM19 sequence is 920 AA, predicted at 100.86 kD. ADAM19 may be important in osteoblast differentiation, as a marker for dendritic cell differentiation, and in the intracellular processing of neuregulin. The ADAMs proteins are structurally similar, possessing a signal sequence, metalloprotease domain (inactive in some ADAMs), disintegrin domain, cysteinrich domain, EGF-like repeat, type-I transmembrane domain, and cytoplasmic domain. The function of ADAM-19 is still poorly understood.
