| ADAM10 endopeptidase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| Kuzbanian protein. |
| Myelin-associated disintegrin metalloproteinase. |

|
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Partially responsible for the 'alpha-secretase' activity in brain
that degrades the potentially harmful beta-amyloid peptide.
- Work with ADAM10-deficient mice supports a role in Notch signaling.
- Belongs to peptidase family M12.
