A disintegrin & metalloproteinase domain 28; metalloproteinase-like, disintegrin-like, & cysteine-rich protein-L; MDC-L; eMDC II (ADAM28, ADAM23, MDCL)

Function: - may play a role in adhesive & proteolytic events that occur during lymphocyte emigration or may function in ectodomain shedding of lymphocyte surface target proteins, such as FASL & CD40L - may be involved in sperm maturation - pro-domain removal & maturation may be, at least in part, autocatalytic Cofactor: binds 1 Zn+2 per subunit (putative) Structure: - the conserved Cys present in the cysteine-switch motif binds the catalytic Zn+2, thus inhibiting the enzyme - dissociation of Cys from Zn+2 upon activation- peptide release activates the enzyme - contains 1 disintegrin domain - contains 1 EGF-like domain - contains 1 peptidase M12B domain Compartment: - isoform 1: cell membrane - isoform 2: secreted Alternative splicing: named isoforms=2 Expression: - expressed predominantly in secondary lymphoid tissues, such as lymph node, spleen, small intestine, stomach, colon, appendix & trachea - the lymphocyte population is responsible for expression in these tissues - isoform 2 is expressed preferentially in spleen
