GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ADAMTS3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
ADAMTS-4, KIAA0366
Description
ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) protein family. Members of the family 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. The protein encoded by this gene is the major procollagen II N-propeptidase. A deficiency of this protein may be responsible for dermatosparaxis, a genetic defect of connective tissues. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
