ADAM22

Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 22 also known as ADAM22 is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ADAM22 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
ADAM22 is a member of the ADAM (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 is_associated_with::fertilization, muscle development, and is_associated_with::neurogenesis. This gene is highly expressed in the brain and may function as an is_associated_with::integrin ligand in the brain. Alternative splicing results in several transcript variants.

Interactions
ADAM22 has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::DLG4.
