nomenclature changes
13SEPT2023
Following a review by Xenbase and the NCBIref seq team, the Xenopus gene name has changed from LOC101732075, disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 12' to adam33, ADAM metallopeptidase domain 33
By synteny, the true Xtropicalis ortholog of human ADAM33 is Xenopus GeneID: 101732075 (XB-GENE-29085839) along with X. laevis.L GeneID: 108697349 & X. laevis.S & GeneID: 108704093.
summary for HUMAN ADAM33 from NCBI
This gene encodes a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain) family. Members of this family are membrane-anchored proteins structurally related to snake venom disintegrins, and have been implicated in a variety of biological processes involving cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, including fertilization, muscle development, and neurogenesis. This protein is a type I transmembrane protein implicated in asthma and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
