ADAM (protein)
ADAMs (short for a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) are a family of single-pass transmembrane and secreted metalloendopeptidases. ADAM7 and ADAM (protein) are proteases.
ADAM2
Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 2 or Beta-fertilin is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ADAM2 gene. ADAM7 and ADAM2 are genes on human chromosome 8, human proteins and proteases.
See ADAM7 and ADAM2
ADAM3
A disintegrin and metalloprotease 3, or ADAM3, belongs to a family of peptidase proteins referred to as ADAMs. ADAM7 and ADAM3 are proteases.
See ADAM7 and ADAM3
Amino acid
Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups.
Apocrine
Apocrine is a term used to classify the mode of secretion of exocrine glands.
Calnexin
Calnexin (CNX) is a integral protein (that appears variously as a 90kDa, 80kDa, or 75kDa band on western blotting depending on the source of the antibody) of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
Capacitation
Capacitation is the penultimate step in the maturation of mammalian spermatozoa and is required to render them competent to fertilize an oocyte.
Disintegrin
Disintegrins are a family of small proteins (45–84 amino acids in length) from viper venoms that function as potent inhibitors of both platelet aggregation and integrin-dependent cell adhesion.
Enzyme
Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts by accelerating chemical reactions.
See ADAM7 and Enzyme
Epididymis
The epididymis (epididymides or) is an elongated tubular structure attached to the posterior side of each one of the two male reproductive glands, the testicles.
Exosome (vesicle)
Exosomes, ranging in size from 30 to 150 nanometers, are membrane-bound extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are produced in the endosomal compartment of most eukaryotic cells.
See ADAM7 and Exosome (vesicle)
Extracellular matrix
In biology, the extracellular matrix (ECM), also called intercellular matrix (ICM), is a network consisting of extracellular macromolecules and minerals, such as collagen, enzymes, glycoproteins and hydroxyapatite that provide structural and biochemical support to surrounding cells.
See ADAM7 and Extracellular matrix
Gene
In biology, the word gene has two meanings.
See ADAM7 and Gene
Heat shock protein
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a family of proteins produced by cells in response to exposure to stressful conditions.
See ADAM7 and Heat shock protein
House mouse
The house mouse (Mus musculus) is a small mammal of the order Rodentia, characteristically having a pointed snout, large rounded ears, and a long and almost hairless tail.
Integral membrane protein
An integral, or intrinsic, membrane protein (IMP) is a type of membrane protein that is permanently attached to the biological membrane.
See ADAM7 and Integral membrane protein
Leydig cell
Leydig cells, also known as interstitial cells of the testes and interstitial cells of Leydig, are found adjacent to the seminiferous tubules in the testicle and produce testosterone in the presence of luteinizing hormone (LH).
Mammal
A mammal is a vertebrate animal of the class Mammalia.
See ADAM7 and Mammal
MEROPS
MEROPS is an online database for peptidases (also known as proteases, proteinases and proteolytic enzymes) and their inhibitors. ADAM7 and MEROPS are proteases.
See ADAM7 and MEROPS
Metalloproteinase
A metalloproteinase, or metalloprotease, is any protease enzyme whose catalytic mechanism involves a metal. ADAM7 and metalloproteinase are proteases.
See ADAM7 and Metalloproteinase
Protein
Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues.
Sequence homology
Sequence homology is the biological homology between DNA, RNA, or protein sequences, defined in terms of shared ancestry in the evolutionary history of life.
See ADAM7 and Sequence homology
Sperm
Sperm (sperm or sperms) is the male reproductive cell, or gamete, in anisogamous forms of sexual reproduction (forms in which there is a larger, female reproductive cell and a smaller, male one).
See ADAM7 and Sperm
