Summary
ADAM8 (ADAM metallopeptidase domain 8, HGNC:215) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q26.3, encoding Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 8 (P78325). Possible involvement in extravasation of leukocytes.
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 may be involved in cell adhesion during neurodegeneration, and it is thought to be a target for allergic respiratory diseases, including asthma. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
