About Adam21

Summary

This gene encodes a member of a disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM) family of endoproteases that play important roles in various biological processes including cell signaling, adhesion and migration. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature, functional metalloprotease enzyme. The encoded protein functions in the regulation of spermatogenesis in the testes and neurogenesis in the central nervous system. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016]
