Evolutionary divergence and functions of the ADAM and ADAMTS gene families
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
The 'A-disintegrin and metalloproteinase' ( ADAM ) and 'A-disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs' ( ADAMTS ) genes make up two similar, yet distinct, gene families. The human and mouse genomes contain 21 and 24 putatively functional protein-coding ADAM genes, respectively, and 24 versus 32 putatively functional protein-coding ADAMTS genes, respectively. Analysis of evolutionary divergence...
