ADAMTS-12 Polyclonal Antibody

cofactor:Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.,domain:The conserved cysteine present in the cysteine-switch motif binds the catalytic zinc ion, thus inhibiting the enzyme. The dissociation of the cysteine from the zinc ion upon the activation-peptide release activates the enzyme.,domain:The spacer domain and the TSP type-1 domains are important for a tight interaction with the extracellular matrix.,PTM:Subjected to an intracellular maturation process yielding a 120 kDa N-terminal fragment containing the metalloproteinase, disintegrin, one TSP type-1 and the Cys-rich domains and a 83 kDa C-terminal fragment containing the spacer 2 and four TSP type-1 domains.,PTM:The precursor is cleaved by a furin endopeptidase.,similarity:Contains 1 disintegrin domain.,similarity:Contains 1 peptidase M12B domain.,similarity:Contains 1 PLAC domain.,similarity:Contains 8 TSP type-1 domains.,tissue specificity:Expressed exclusively in fetal lung. Is widely expressed in gastric carcinomas and in cancer cells of diverse origin.,
