The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) family. Members of this family share several distinct protein modules, including a propeptide region, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. Individual members of this family differ in the number of C-terminal TS motifs, and some have unique C-terminal domains. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature enzyme. This enzyme contains two C-terminal TS motifs and may regulate vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration. Mutations in this gene may be associated with susceptibility to coronary artery disease. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
Forensic Context
A study in rhesus macaques identified the ADAMTS7 as a shared downregulated differentially expressed gene in left ventricular tissue between animals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and both pediatric and adult human HCM cases [Rivas et al. DOI:10.1038/s41598-024-82770-4].
