ADAMTS4 - ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 4 Gene
Also Known as ADMP-1; ADAMTS-2; ADAMTS-4
Species: Homo sapiens
About ADAMTS4
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 116 orthologues and 25 paralogues. Broad expression in gall bladder (RPKM 12.3), appendix (RPKM 11.7) and 19 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) protein family. Members of this family share several distinct protein modules, including a propeptide region, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. Individual members of this family differ in the number of C-terminal TS motifs, and some have unique C-terminal domains. The enzyme encoded by this gene lacks a C-terminal TS motif. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protease. This protease is responsible for the degradation of aggrecan, a major proteoglycan of cartilage, and brevican, a brain-specific extracellular matrix protein. The expression of this gene is upregulated in arthritic disease and this may contribute to disease progression through the degradation of aggrecan. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes an isoform that is proteolytically processed. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
