About ADAM12

Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.

Biology

Biological function

ADAM12 is a zinc-dependent metalloprotease/disintegrin associated with cell adhesion and proteolysis. Reviewed UniProt annotation supports roles in skeletal-muscle regeneration and cell fusion and, by similarity, formation of osteoclasts and macrophage-derived giant cells.

Experimental context

Research context

ADAM metallopeptidase domain 12 (ADAM12/meltrin-alpha) is studied in muscle-development and regeneration, cell-fusion, extracellular-remodelling and cell-matrix interaction research. Use the ABMIUM catalogue products on this page to compare ADAM12 reagents and verify species, application and product-level validation.
