Sexual Selection and the Molecular Evolution of ADAM Proteins

Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2010
Rapid evolution has been identified for many reproductive genes and recent studies have combined phylogenetic tests and information on species mating systems to test sexual selection. Here we examined the molecular evolution of the ADAM gene family, a diverse group of 35 proteins capable of adhesion to and cleavage of other proteins, using sequence ...

ADAM family proteins in the immune system

Trends in Immunology, 1999
CD156 is a member of a family proteins characterized by a disintegrin and a metalloprotease domain (ADAM). These molecules are phylogenically conserved but have individual roles in a variety of cells. Here, Shunsuke Yamamoto and colleagues discuss data suggesting that ADAM family proteins have important roles in the immune system.

Altered cell-matrix associated ADAM proteins in Alzheimer disease

Journal of Neuroscience Research, 2000
Alterations in cell-matrix 'contact' are often related to a disruption of cell cycle regulation and, as such, occur variously in neoplasia. Given the recent findings showing cell cycle alterations in Alzheimer disease, we undertook a study of ADAM-1 and 2 (A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease), developmentally-regulated, integrin-binding, membrane-bound ...

ADAM Proteins- Therapeutic Potential in Cancer

Current Cancer Drug Targets, 2008
The A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease (ADAM) proteins belong to the metzincin-superfamily of Zn-dependent metalloproteinases that shed the extracellular domains of membrane-bound growth factors, cytokines and their receptors. The latter play a central role in cell signaling and contribute a potential target in cancer therapy. Of particular interest are

ADAM proteins in the brain

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2004
ADAM proteins are a family of metalloproteinases with a disintegrin domain. They have proteolytic as well as adhesive functions and can be involved in cell fusion events. Some ADAM proteins are expressed in a highly tissue restricted fashion, whereas others are expressed quite ubiquitously. In the brain, ADAM proteins have a role in neural development,

Shedding of membrane proteins by ADAM family proteases

Essays in Biochemistry, 2002
Many membrane-bound proteins undergo proteolytic release from the membrane, a process known as 'shedding'. Some of the processing events are carried out by enzymes of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) family, which are also membrane bound.
