Gene: ADAM12
Alternate names for this Gene: ADAM12-OT1|CAR10|MCMP|MCMPMltna|MLTN|MLTNA
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that are structurally related to snake venom disintegrins and have been implicated in a variety of biological processes involving cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, including fertilization, muscle development, and neurogenesis. Expression of this gene has been used as a maternal serum marker for pre-natal development. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Shorter isoforms are secreted, while longer isoforms are membrane-bound form.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 10
Location in Chromosome : 10q26.2
Description of this Gene: ADAM metallopeptidase domain 12
Type of Gene: protein-coding
