Also known as svph1CT73
Summary
ADAM29 (ADAM metallopeptidase domain 29, HGNC:207) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 4q34.1, encoding Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 29 (Q9UKF5). May be involved in spermatogenesis and fertilization.
This gene encodes a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain) family. Members of this family are membrane-anchored proteins 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. The protein encoded by this gene is highly expressed in testis and may be involved in human spermatogenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein.
