Summary | This gene encodes a member of the disintegrin family of membrane-anchored proteins that play a role in diverse biological processes such as brain development, fertilization, tumor development and inflammation. The encoded protein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature polypeptide comprised of an inactive metalloprotease and disintegrin domains. Transgenic disruption of this gene in mice results in postnatal neurological defects including tremor and ataxia resulting in death by 2 weeks of age. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]. |
