ADAM-TS5, ADAM-TS6, and ADAM-TS7, Novel Members of a New Family of Zinc Metalloproteases
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
We report the primary structure of three novel, putative zinc metalloproteases designated ADAM-TS5, ADAM-TS6, and ADAM-TS7. All have a similar domain organization, comprising a preproregion, a reprolysin-type catalytic domain, a disintegrin-like domain, a thrombospondin type-1 (TS) module, a cysteine-rich domain, a spacer domain without cysteine residues, and a COOH-terminal TS module. These genes are...
