ADAM13 is a transmembrane protein containing a metalloprotease domain (gray), and controls cell motility by shedding adhesion molecules from the cell surface. ADAM13 also exhibits adhesive activity through it's disintegrin (blue) and cysteine rich (purple) domains (EGF-like repeat, cyan).

Metalloprotease domain
Most ADAMs contain a canonical metalloprotease site (HExxHxxGxxH) with a catalytic glutamate residue (shown in red) three Histidine residues (blue) coordinating a Zinc ion (green). ADAMs are known to cleave a variety of proteins present at the cell surface in addition to cell adhesion molecules, such as signaling receptors and their ligands to either activate or inactivate the signaling pathway. The Alfandari Lab currently studies the role of the meltrin subfamily of ADAMs in early embryo development.
