Adam8 - ADAM metallopeptidase domain 8

Predicted to enable cell adhesion molecule binding activity; metal ion binding activity; and metallopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including leukocyte migration; positive regulation of leukocyte migration; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell-cell adhesion. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cell surface; cytoplasmic vesicle; and podosome. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of alpha9-beta1 integrin-ADAM8 complex. Orthologous to human ADAM8 (ADAM metallopeptidase domain 8).
