ADAM metallopeptidase domain 30(ADAM30) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain) family. Members of this family are membrane-anchored proteins structurally related to snake venom disintegrins, and have been implicated in a variety of biological processes involving cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, including fertilization, muscle development, and neurogenesis. This gene is testis-specific and contains a polymorphic region, resulting in isoforms with varying numbers of C-terminal repeats. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],

Function:
cofactor:Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.,Domain:The conserved cysteine present in the cysteine-switch motif binds the catalytic zinc ion, thus inhibiting the enzyme. The dissociation of the cysteine from the zinc ion upon the activation-peptide release activates the enzyme.,Function:May be involved in spermatogenesis and fertilization.,similarity:Contains 1 disintegrin domain.,similarity:Contains 1 EGF-like domain.,similarity:Contains 1 peptidase M12B domain.,tissue specificity:Expressed specifically in testis.,
