FAMILY

ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif) protein family

CATEGORY

enzyme , tumor suppressor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

basic FUNCTION	functional tumor suppressor, being frequently inactivated epigenetically in multiple carcinomas
	plays likely an essential role in early eye development
	play important roles in development, angiogenesis and coagulation; dysregulation and mutation of these enzymes have been implicated in many disease processes, such as inflammation, cancer, arthritis and atherosclerosis

CELLULAR PROCESS

protein, degradation

Type Gene Modification Chromosome rearrangement Protein expression Protein Function tumoral     --low   frequently silenced by hypermethylation in esophageal, nasopharyngeal and multiple other carcinomas tumoral somatic mutation       promote growth, migration, and metastasis in melanoma tumoral     --low   by hypermethylation, in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Susceptibility

to variation of hip BMD

Variant & Polymorphism SNP	the C allele of rs11864477 significantly associated to lower hip BMD

Candidate gene
Marker	ADAMTS18 gene hypermethylation may be involved in the tumorigenesis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma and may serve as a novel biomarker for this disease
Therapy target

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

Adamts18-deficient mice are born in a normal Mendelian ratio, and are viable but show a transient growth delay
