ADAMTS20 ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 20

Gene ID: 80070, updated on 17-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GON-1; ADAM-TS20; ADAMTS-20

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the ADAMTS family of zinc-dependent proteases. The encoded protein has a signal peptide that is cleaved to release the mature peptide, which is secreted and found in the extracellular matrix. This protein may be involved in tissue remodeling.
