Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables SH3 domain binding activity; metalloendopeptidase activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Involved in several processes, including membrane protein ectodomain proteolysis; positive regulation of membrane protein ectodomain proteolysis; and transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Located in cytoplasm; external side of plasma membrane; and extracellular space. Is expressed in foregut-midgut junction. Used to study cone-rod dystrophy 9. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cone-rod dystrophy 9. Orthologous to human ADAM9 (ADAM metallopeptidase domain 9).
