DESCRIPTION

Also known as ADA15_HUMAN, ADAM15, MDC15. Active metalloproteinase with gelatinolytic and collagenolytic activity. Plays a role in the wound healing process. Mediates both heterotypic intraepithelial cell/T-cell interactions and homotypic T-cell aggregation. Inhibits beta-1 integrin-mediated cell adhesion and migration of airway smooth muscle cells. Suppresses cell motility on or towards fibronectin possibly by driving alpha-v/beta-1 integrin (ITAGV-ITGB1) cell surface expression via ERK1/2 inactivation. Cleaves E-cadherin in response to growth factor deprivation. Plays a role in glomerular cell migration. Plays a role in pathological neovascularization. May play a role in cartilage remodeling. May be proteolytically processed, during sperm epididymal maturation and the acrosome reaction. May play a role in sperm-egg binding through its disintegrin domain. Interacts with ITAGV-ITGB3 (vitronectin receptor). Interacts with SH3GL2 and SNX9; this interaction occurs preferentially with ADAM15 precursor, rather than the processed form, suggesting it occurs in a secretory pathway compartment prior to the medial Golgi. Interacts with ITAG9-ITGB1 (By similarity). Interacts specifically with Src family protein-tyrosine kinases (PTKs). Interacts with SH3PXD2A. Interacts with ITAGV-ITGB1. Interacts with GRB2, HCK, ITSN1, ITSN2, LYN, MAPK1, MAPK3, NCF1, NCK1, nephrocystin, PTK6, SNX33, LCK and SRC.
