ATS9 Polyclonal Antibody

catalytic activity:Cleaves aggrecan at the 1838-Glu-|-Ala-1839 site and versican at the 1428-Glu-|-Ala-1429 site.,cofactor:Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.,domain:The ancillary domains, including the TSRs domain, are required for specific extracellular localization and for its versicanase and aggrecanase activities.,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.,function:Cleaves the large aggregating proteoglycans, aggrecan and versican.,PTM:The precursor is cleaved by a furin endopeptidase.,similarity:Contains 1 disintegrin domain.,similarity:Contains 1 GON domain.,similarity:Contains 1 peptidase M12B domain.,similarity:Contains 15 TSP type-1 domains.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in all fetal tissues. Expressed in a number of adult tissues with highest expression in heart, placenta and skeletal muscle.,
