Structural highlights
Function
[ADA10_BOVIN] Cleaves the membrane-bound precursor of TNF-alpha to its mature soluble form. Responsible for the proteolytic release of several other cell-surface proteins, including heparin-binding epidermal growth-like factor, ephrin-A2 and for constitutive and regulated alpha-secretase cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP). Contributes to the normal cleavage of the cellular prion protein. Involved in the cleavage of the adhesion molecule L1 at the cell surface and in released membrane vesicles, suggesting a vesicle-based protease activity. Controls also the proteolytic processing of Notch. Responsible for the FasL ectodomain shedding and for the generation of the remnant ADAM10-processed FasL (FasL APL) transmembrane form. Also cleaves the ectodomain of the integral membrane proteins CORIN and ITM2B. May regulate the EFNA5-EPHA3 signaling (By similarity).[1]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Ephrin ligands presented on one cell surface associate with their receptors on the surface of a juxtaposed cell, often resulting in cell-cell repulsion. In this issue of Cell, Janes et al. (2005) show that the ephrin ligand can be proteolytically released from its membrane tether by a complex on the opposing cell composed of the ephrin receptor and an ADAM metalloprotease.
