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.

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.

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 ...

Identification of candidate substrates for ectodomain shedding by the metalloprotease-disintegrin ADAM8 [PDF]
ADAM proteases are type I transmembrane proteins with extracellular metalloprotease domains. As for most ADAM family members, ADAM8 (CD156a, MS2) is involved in ectodomain shedding of membrane proteins and is linked to inflammation and neurodegeneration.
