Gene information for ADAMTS18 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID170692
Official gene symbolADAMTS18
Full nameADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 18
Aliases,ADAMTS21,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) protein family. ADAMTS family members share several distinct protein modules, including a propeptide region, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. Individual members of this family differ in the number of C-terminal TS motifs, and some have unique C-terminal domains. The protein encoded by this gene has a high sequence similarity to the protein encoded by gene ADAMTS16, another family member. It is thought to function as a tumor suppressor. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified, but their biological validity has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq]
