Biochem/physiol Actions

ADAM2 (disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 2) is an integrin binding protein. Absence of ADAM2 in mice causes defects in sperm-egg binding. In addition, it helps in transfer of sperm from the uterus into the oviduct.

General description

This gene encodes a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain) family. Members of this family are membrane-anchored proteins structurally related to snake venom disintegrins, and have been implicated in a variety of biological processes involving cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, including fertilization, muscle development, and neurogenesis. This member is a subunit of an integral sperm membrane glycoprotein called fertilin, which plays an important role in sperm-egg interactions. (provided by RefSeq)
