General description

ADAM8, a transmembrane glycoprotein, also known as MS2 and CD156, is a member of the metalloproteinase family containing disintegrin-like domains (ADAMs). ADAM8 is up-regulated in the central nervous system following neurogeneration and activation of glia, astrocytes, and microglia, suggesting that it may have a role in neuron-glia interactions. ADAM8 stimulates osteoclasts, suggesting a role in cell adhesion and cell fusion.
Anti-ADAM-8, propeptide domain antibody localizes human, porcine, and rat ADAM8 and does not react with other ADAMs. In immunoblotting assays against the reduced protein, the antibody recognizes 52kDa and 70kDa bands in conditioned media or cell lysates. In culture media, the 52kDa form is predominant.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to the propeptide domain of human ADAM-8.

Application

Anti-ADAM-8, propeptide domain antibody can be used for western blotting assays at a dilution of 1:1,000.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline containing 50% glycerol and 0.05% sodium azide.

ADAMs (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domains) are metalloprotease and disintegrin domain-containing transmembrane glycoproteins with proteolytic, cell adhesion, cell fusion, and cell signaling properties. ADAM8 was originally cloned from monocytic cells, and its distinct expression pattern indicates possible roles in both

ADAM proteases, defined by extracellular disintegrin and metalloprotease domains, are involved in protein processing and cell-cell interactions. Using wobbler (WR) mutant mice, we investigated the role of ADAMs in neurodegeneration and reactive glia activation in the CNS. We found that
