recommended for detection of ADAM7 of mouse, rat and human origin by WB, IP and ELISA
Modification Notes
The ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease) protein family, which includes over 30 membrane-anchored, glycosylated, Zn2+ dependent proteases, plays a role in cell-cell and cell-matrix interface related processes, including fertilization, muscle fusion, secretion of TNFå (tumor necrosis factor å), and modulation of the neurogenic function of Notch and Delta (1–3). The ADAM proteins possess a signal-domain, a pro-domain, a metalloprotease domain, a disintegrin domain (Integrin ligand), a cysteine-rich region, an epidermal growth factor-like domain, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail (1–3). ADAMs are expressed in a wide range of mammalian tissues and several are abundantly expressed in the male reproductive tract (3). ADAM7, also designated GP-83, binds wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), and is synthesized as a protein and secreted by corpus and cauda epididymus (4,5). ADAM7 conjugates to spermatozoa during their transit in human epididymus, and may be involved in sperm maturation (6,7).
