Adamts10 - a disintegrin-like and metallopeptidase (reprolysin type) with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 10

This gene encodes a member of "a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs" (ADAMTS) family of multi-domain matrix-associated metalloendopeptidases that have diverse roles in tissue morphogenesis and pathophysiological remodeling, in inflammation and in vascular biology. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a functional, zinc-dependent metallopeptidase enzyme. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
