Background:

The ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease) protein family, which includes over 30 membrane-anchored, glycosylated, Zn2+ dependent proteases, plays a role in cell-cell and cell-matrix interface related processes, including fertilization, muscle fusion, secretion of TNFα (tumor necrosis factor α), and modulation of the neurogenic function of Notch and Delta. The ADAM proteins possess a signal-domain, a pro-domain, a metalloprotease domain, a disintegrin domain (Integrin ligand), a cysteine-rich region, an epidermal growth factor-like domain, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail. ADAMs are expressed in a wide range of mammalian tissues and several are abundantly expressed in the male reproductive tract . Expression of ADAM19, also designated meltrin b, is highest in the peripheral nervous system during embryogenesis, but is also apparent in placenta, brain, heart, lung, leukocytes, and SW480 cells . ADAM19 also serves as a dendritic cell marker. Truncation of ADAM19 in its cysteine-rich domain is necessary to exert its proteolytic activity on specific substrates, including a2-macroglobulin .

Specificity:

ADAM19 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of ADAM19 protein.
