Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including PDZ domain binding activity; metallopeptidase activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to mechanical stimulus; positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; and regulation of apoptotic process. Located in apical part of cell and cell surface. Biomarker of Alzheimer's disease; congestive heart failure; and thoracic aortic aneurysm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; inflammatory bowel disease; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human ADAM17 (ADAM metallopeptidase domain 17).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
