  • Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase Domain Containing Protein 12
  • Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase Domain-Containing Protein 12
  • Meltrin alpha Protein

Scope note

  • A disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein that is expressed as two alternatively-spliced forms: a long transmembrane form (ADAM12-L) and a short soluble form (ADAM12-S). It modulates the cleavage of INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR BINDING PROTEINS and may also regulate CELL FUSION during MYOGENESIS.
