The ADAM10 protein also known as CD156c is a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease) family. It functions as a metalloproteinase enzyme involved in the ectodomain shedding of various cell surface proteins. ADAM10 has an approximate molecular weight of 85 kDa. This protein has broad expression in various tissues including the brain heart and liver and performs key enzymatic activities that affect cellular communication.
Biological function summary
ADAM10 contributes to development and regulation of synapses in the central nervous system being part of the membrane protein complex. It processes amyloid precursor protein (APP) and other substrates excising their extracellular domains and influencing cell signaling pathways. ADAM10 activity regulates Notch signaling a mechanism essential for cell differentiation and tissue homeostasis.
Pathways
ADAM10 activity intersects with several important biological processes including the Notch and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) pathways. Notch signaling pathway involves interactions with ligands like Jagged and Delta impacting cell fate decisions. In the EGFR pathway ADAM10 regulates the availability of ligands such as EGF affecting the receptor’s signaling cascades related to cell proliferation and survival.
ADAM10 dysregulation associates with Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. ADAM10's role in cleaving APP is linked to Alzheimer's where altered activity may affect amyloid-beta production and plaque formation. In cancer ADAM10 modulates cell adhesion and migration influencing tumor progression and metastasis. ADAM10 interactions with proteins in these contexts such as β-Catenin in cancer illustrate its impact on pathophysiological processes.
