Preparation and Storage

Background: ADAM8

ADAM8, also known as cell surface antigen MS2 or CD156a, is a member of the ADAM family that contains a disintegrin and metalloprotease-like domain (1, 2). ADAM8 can cleave a variety of substrates and has been shown as a sheddase for the low affinity IgE receptor CD23 and the neural recognition molecule CHL1 (3, 4). Expression and regulation studies suggest that ADAM8 is a novel osteoclast stimulating factor and may play a role in asthma (5, 6). The 824 amino acid precursor of human ADAM8 consists of a signal peptide (residues 1 to 16), a pro peptide (residues 17 to 199), a metaloprotease domain (residues 200 to 400), a disintegrin-like domain (residues 408 to 494), a cysteine-rich region (residues 497 to 613), an EGF-like domain (residues 614 to 640), a transmembrane region (residues 656 to 676) and a cytoplasmic domain (residues 677 to 824).
