[a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain 22; ADAM metallopeptidase domain 22] This protein is a member of the ADAM protein family (Sagane et al, 1999). The gene symbol and alternative name is MDC-2 [metalloproteinase-like disintegrin-like cysteine-rich protein-2], for which many different variants have been described.
Sequence analysis suggests that ADAM11 is not a metalloprotease, since it lacks a catalytic motif (Sagane et al, 1998; Sagane et al, 1999). The presence of a functional disintegrin-like and cysteine-rich sequence in the ectodomain of ADAM22 suggests that the protein functions as an adhesion molecule or a receptor. ADAM11 has been shown to be a binding receptor for LGI1
