Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-ADAM28 [28MOCYT]
  • Clone: 28MOCYT
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
  • Class: Polyclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Mouse
  • Host: Rabbit
  • Molecular weight of the target: ~100 kDa
  • Application: WB
  • Description: ADAM28, also known as eMDCII, MDC-Ls and TECADAM, was first described in lymphocytes, also in Thymic Endothelial Cells (TECADAM), as well as in the epididymus. Later works describe two forms of ADAM28: ADAM28-S and ADAM28-L (short and long forms). The short form is a soluble, alternatively spliced form lacking the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains. A member of the metalloproteinase family containing disintegrin-like domains (ADAMs) the functions of ADAM28 is still poorly understood. Other ADAMs family members (ADAM10, ADAM17) have been more thoroughly studied and are known to play key roles in inflammation, growth factor maturation and release, and a wide range of other functions. ADAM28 may play a role in the adhesive and proteolytic events that occur during lymphocyte emigration or may function in ectodomain shedding of lymphocyte surface target proteins, such as FASL and CD40L. It may be involved in sperm maturation.
