Detection of the ADAM proteins in the ejaculated bovine sperm
The current study aimed to detect specific types of ADAM proteins in the bovine sperm. Histology study of tissue of male reproduction was involved with testis, head, body, and the tail of the epididymis. Results showed that the testis composed of the parenchyma of testis contained the seminiferous tubules which are surrounded by two layers externally ...

The ADAMs family of metalloproteases: multidomain proteins with multiple functions [PDF]
The ADAMs family of transmembrane proteins belongs to the zinc protease superfamily. Members of the family have a modular design, characterized by the presence of metalloprotease and integrin receptor-binding activities, and a cytoplasmic domain that in many family members specifies binding sites for various signal transducing proteins.

Preferred SH3 domain partners of ADAM metalloproteases include shared and ADAM-specific SH3 interactions. [PDF]
A disintegrin and metalloproteinases (ADAMs) constitute a protein family essential for extracellular signaling and regulation of cell adhesion. Catalytic activity of ADAMs and their predicted potential for Src-homology 3 (SH3) domain binding show a ...

Role of ADAMs in the Ectodomain Shedding and Conformational Conversion of the Prion Protein [PDF]
The cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) is essential for the pathogenesis and transmission of prion diseases. PrP(C) is bound to the plasma membrane via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor, although a secreted, soluble form has also been identified.

ADAM and ADAMTS Proteins, New Players in the Regulation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Microenvironment [PDF]
The tumor microenvironment plays a major role in tumor growth, invasion and resistance to chemotherapy, however understanding how all actors from microenvironment interact together remains a complex issue. The tumor microenvironment is classically represented as three closely connected components including the stromal cells such as immune cells ...
