Adam10 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables metalloendopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including amyloid-beta formation; regulation of neuron projection development; and response to antineoplastic agent. Located in several cellular components, including postsynaptic membrane; synaptic vesicle; and trans-Golgi network. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Biomarker of several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; cataract; status epilepticus; thoracic aortic aneurysm; and traumatic brain injury. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease 18 and reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura. Orthologous to human ADAM10 (ADAM metallopeptidase domain 10).
