A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease 10 (ADAM10)

Target
ADAM10
Molecular classification
Metalloprotease, Transmembrane protein, ADAM family
01

Overview

ADAM10 is a versatile membrane-bound metalloproteinase central to regulating intercellular communication through controlled proteolysis at the cell surface. Its structural complexity allows tight regulation via autoinhibition/autoregulation mechanisms involving non-catalytic domains. Given its broad substrate range—including key players in cancer biology and neurodegenerative diseases—it remains an important therapeutic target under active research for selective modulation strategies.
