New insights have emerged about the expression, during testicular cord formation, of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease) domain family of proteins that combines both cell surface adhesion and proteolytic activity; this family includes integrins alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta1 and tetraspanins, a distinct family of proteins containing four transmembrane domains, a small and a large extracellular loop, and...
