Gene: ADAM32

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the disintegrin family of membrane-anchored proteins that play a role in diverse biological processes such as brain development, fertilization, tumor development and inflammation. This gene is predominantly expressed in the testis. The encoded protein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature polypeptide comprised of an metalloprotease, disintegrin and epidermal growth factor-like domains. This gene is located in a cluster of other disintegrin and metallopeptidase family genes on chromosome 8. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 8

Location in Chromosome : 8p11.22

Description of this Gene: ADAM metallopeptidase domain 32

Type of Gene: protein-coding
