ADAM9

Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 9 is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ADAM9 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes a member of the ADAM (is_associated_with::a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain) family. Members of this family are membrane-anchored proteins structurally related to snake venom is_associated_with::disintegrins, and have been implicated in a variety of biological processes involving cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, including fertilization, muscle development, and neurogenesis. The protein encoded by this gene interacts with is_associated_with::SH3 domain-containing proteins, binds mitotic arrest deficient 2 beta protein, and is also involved in TPA-induced is_associated_with::ectodomain shedding of membrane-anchored heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor. Two alternative splice variants have been identified, encoding distinct isoforms.

Interactions
ADAM9 has been shown to interact with:
 * is_associated_with::MAD2L2,
 * is_associated_with::SH3GL2, and
 * is_associated_with::SNX9
