ADAM family proteins in the immune system

Immunol Today. 1999 Jun;20(6):278-84. doi: 10.1016/s0167-5699(99)01464-4.

Abstract

CD156 is a member of a family proteins characterized by a disintegrin and a metalloprotease domain (ADAM). These molecules are phylogenically conserved but have individual roles in a variety of cells. Here, Shunsuke Yamamoto and colleagues discuss data suggesting that ADAM family proteins have important roles in the immune system.
