[a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif-9; ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 9] This protein (1935 amino acids) is a member of the ADAMTS protein family (see: ADAMTS protein family). ADAMTS9 is encoded by a cDNA, termed KIAA1312 isolated originally from human brain (Nagase et al, 1997). The gene is expressed in ovary, pancreas, heart, lung, placenta, adult kidney. It is expressed strongly in all fetal tissues examined (Clark et al, 2000; Somerville et al, 2003) and widely expressed during mouse embryo development (Jungers et al, 2005).
Hesselson et al (2004) have reported that ADAMTS9 can functionally replace the GON-1 protein in
