ADAMTS18: Proteins and Enzymes

ADAMTS18 (A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 18) is a 1,221 amino acid protein that is thought to function as a tumor suppressor. ADAMTS family members share several distinct protein modules, including a propeptide region, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. Individual members of this family differ in the number of C-terminal TS motifs, and some have unique C-terminal domains. ADAMTS18 is downregulated in ...
