Gene:
a disintegrin-like and metalloprotease (reprolysin type) with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 15
Gene ID:
190822
Symbol:
ADAMTS15
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a member of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) protein family. ADAMTS family members share several distinct protein modules, including a propeptide region, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. Individual members of this family differ in the number of C-terminal TS motifs, and some have unique C-terminal domains. The protein encoded by this gene has a high sequence similarity to the proteins encoded by ADAMTS1 and ADAMTS8. The function of this protein has not been determined.
