ADAM12 or Meltrin alpha is a protein that is involved in myoblast fusion which is similar to sperm-egg fusion aided by ADAMs 1 and 2. Two forms of ADAM12 have been described: ADAM12-S and ADAM12-L (short and long forms). The short form is a soluble, alternatively spliced form that lacks the trans membrane and cytoplasmic domains. The short form of ADAM12 has been reported to provoke myogenesis. ADAM12 is known to have regulation pathways via Src and Src tyrosine kinases.
Recognizes the full length, long form of ADAM-12 but not the soluble form of ADAM-12. Detects bands at 116 kDa (minor band), 92 kDa (major band), and cleaved products at 68 kDa and 40 kDa in reduced immunoblots.
The family of AMP deaminases enzymes catalyze the deamination of adenosine monophosphate to inosine monophosphate.

The "a distintegrin and metalloprotease" (ADAM) family contributes to regulation of the cell-cell and cell-matrix interaction that are critical determinants of malignancy. It also plays important roles in the degradation of the basement membrane during tumor invasion. To evaluate a
Cancer associated stromal fibroblasts (CAFs) undergo transcriptional and phenotypic changes that contribute to tumor progression, but the mechanisms responsible for these changes are not well understood. Aberrant DNA methylation is an important cause of transcriptional alterations in cancer cells but
The Escherichia coli RecF, RecO and RecR pro teins have previously been implicated in bacterial recombinational DNA repair at DNA gaps. The RecOR-facilitated binding of RecA protein to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) that is bound by single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB) is

ADAM12, consisting of a membrane-bound (ADAM12L) and a secreted (ADAM12S) form, is expressed exclusively in regenerating and developing tissue as well as in certain cancer types. Strong ADAM12 expression levels have been noticed in the human placenta, and deregulated ADAM12S
Meltrin alpha/ADAM12 is a member of the ADAM/MDC family proteins characterized by the presence of metalloprotease and disintegrin domains. This protein also contains a single transmembrane domain and a relatively long cytoplasmic domain containing several proline-rich sequences. These sequences are
