Abbreviation: ADAM8;CD156a
Target Synonym: Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 8;ADAM 8;EC 3.4.24.;Cell surface antigen MS2;CD antigen CD156a;MS2
Target Species: Human
Expression Host: HEK293 Cells
Fusion Tag: C-His
UNIProt ID: P78325
Background: ADAM8, also known as cell surface antigen MS2 or CD156a, is a member of the ADAM family that contains a disintegrin and metalloprotease-like domain. ADAM8 can cleave a variety of substrates and has been shown as a sheddase for the low affinity IgE receptor CD23 and the neural recognition molecule CHL1. Expression and regulation studies suggest that ADAM8 is a novel osteoclast stimulating factor and may play a role in asthma. It can be activated and assayed under the conditions described in the Activity Assay Protocol.
Sequence: Met1-Ser653
Purity: > 95 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
