T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain (TIM)-2 is expressed on activated B cells. Here, we provide evidence that murine TIM-2 is a target of ADAM10-mediated ectodomain shedding, resulting in the generation of a soluble form of TIM-2. We identified ADAM10 but not ADAM17 as the major sheddase of TIM-2, as shown by pharmacological ADAM10 inhibition and with ADAM10-deficient and ADAM17-deficient murine embryonic...
