Research context & evidence
Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.
ADAM metallopeptidase domain 17 (ADAM17/TACE) is a transmembrane zinc metalloprotease that releases the extracellular domains of multiple membrane proteins. Reviewed UniProt includes cleavage of membrane-bound TNF precursor to soluble TNF and shedding of receptors and ligands including TNF receptors and IL6R.
ADAM17/TACE is widely studied in inflammatory signalling, cytokine and receptor shedding, TNF biology, IL6R trans-signalling, growth-factor signalling and cell-surface proteolysis. Reagent selection should be based on species, sample type, assay format, application and product-level validation.
