ADAM13 is a transmembrane protein containing a metalloprotease (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). | ADAM13 is a transmembrane protein containing a metalloprotease (gray) and controls cell motility by shedding adhesion molecules from the cell surface.
