Zinc-dependent metalloprotease, ADAM_like or reprolysin_like subgroup. The adamalysin_like or ADAM family of metalloproteases contains proteolytic domains from snake venoms, proteases from the mammalian reproductive tract, and the tumor necrosis factor alpha convertase, TACE. ADAMs (A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease) are glycoproteins, which play roles in cell signaling, cell fusion, and cell-cell interactions.
