Adamtsl4 Gene Summary [Mouse]
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the ADAMTS superfamily of secreted proteins, which contain a metalloprotease domain at the N-terminus and a C-terminal ancillary domain. ADAMTS-like proteins lack protease activity and resemble the ancillary domain of ADAMTS proteins. ADAMTS-like proteins have been implicated in regulation of the extracellular matrix. The encoded protein contains 7 thrombospondin type 1 repeats, a conserved extracellular domain. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Adamtsl4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
