ADAM2 - ADAM metallopeptidase domain 2 Gene
Also Known as CT15; FTNB; PH30; CRYN1; CRYN2; PH-30b; PH30-beta
Species: Homo sapiens
About ADAM2
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 361 orthologues and 20 paralogues. Restricted expression toward testis (RPKM 28.4).
Summary
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 encoded protein is a subunit of an integral sperm membrane glycoprotein called fertilin, which plays an important role in sperm-egg interactions. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
