Gene information for ADAM18 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8749
Official gene symbolADAM18
Full nameADAM metallopeptidase domain 18
Aliases,ADAM27,MGC41836,MGC88272,tMDCIII,
Gene summaryThis 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 biologic processes involving cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, including fertilization, muscle development, and neurogenesis. The protein encoded by this gene is a sperm surface protein. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
