Invitrogen™ ADAM17 Polyclonal Antibody

Description

Reconstitute at 0.2 mg/mL in sterile PBS.

ADAM17 (disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 17) cleaves the membrane bound precusor of TNF-alpha to its mature soluble form. ADAM 17 is responsbile for the proteolytical release of soluble JAM3 from endothelial cells surface and the proteolytic release of several other cell-surface proteins, including p75 TNF-receptor, interleukin receptor type II, p55 TNF-receptor, transforming growth factor-alpha, L-selectin, growth hormone receptor, MUC1, and the amyloid precursor protein. It acts as an activator of the Notch pathway by mediating cleavage of Notch and generating the membrane-associated intermediate fragment called Notch extracellular truncation (NEXT). Mutations in the gene can result in inflammatory skin and bowel disease, neonatal 1.
