basic FUNCTION
| may play roles in pulmonary cells during fetal development or in tumor processes through its proteolytic activity or as a molecule potentially involved in regulation of cell adhesion |
|
ADAMTS12 confers tumour-protective functions upon cells that produce this proteolytic enzyme  |
|
displays antiangiogenic properties and protect the host toward tumor progression  |
|
ADAMTS12, independent of its proteolytic activity, plays a specific, non-redundant role in trophoblast invasion  |
|
ADAMTS7 and ADAMTS12 appear to be potent negative regulators of endplate cartilage development  |
|
is a degradative enzyme that interacts with the degradable fragments of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein, which is a prominent non-collagenous matrix component in articular cartilage  |
|
ADAMTS12 is implicated in the inflammatory response by modulating normal neutrophil apoptosis  |
