Gene:
ADAMTS-like 1
Gene ID:
194813
Symbol:
ADAMTSL1
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a secreted protein resembling members of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif) family. This protein lacks the propeptide region and the metalloproteinase and disintegrin-like domains, which are typical of the ADAMTS family, but contains other ADAMTS domains, including the thrombospondin type 1 motif. This protein may have important functions in the extracellular matrix. Alternative splicing of this gene results in 3 transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
