ADAMs (short for a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) are a family of single-pass transmembrane and secreted metalloendopeptidases. [1] [2] All ADAMs are characterized by a particular domain organization featuring a pro-domain, a metalloprotease, a disintegrin, a cysteine-rich, an epidermal-growth factor like and a transmembrane domain, as well as a C-terminal cytoplasmic tail.

ADAM17 is an 824-amino acid polypeptide.[5] [6]ADAM17 has multidomain structure that includes a pro-domain, a metallo-protease domain, a disintegrin domain, a cysteine-rich domain, an EGF-like domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail.
[citation needed] In women with mild cases, elevated blood pressure and/or infertility is the presenting clinical problem. 17α-hydroxylase deficiency in genetic males results in moderate to severe reduction of fetal testosterone production by adrenal glands and testes. Undervirilization is variable and sometimes complete.
This is a list of primary immunodeficiencies (PID), which are immune deficiencies that are not secondary to another condition.. The International Union of Immunological Societies recognizes nine classes of primary immunodeficiencies, totaling approximately 430 conditions.
The specificity of progesterone as a marker of 21-hydroxylase deficiency, as opposed to deficiency of other enzymes involved in steroid pathways, is still not well studied. [ 184 ] [ 185 ] [ 186 ] Cortisol is one of the two main final products of 21-hydroxylase, and the deficiency of this enzyme may lead to a certain degree of cortisol deficiency.
In sub-Saharan Africa, for example, where USAID oversees services including HIV prevention and treatment, girls and women ages 15 to 24 are three times more likely to contract the virus than boys ...
ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13)—also known as von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease (VWFCP)—is a zinc-containing metalloprotease enzyme that cleaves von Willebrand factor (vWf), a large protein involved in blood clotting.
Up next for Keys is No. 2 seed Iga Swiatek, who cruised past No. 8 seed Emma Navarro in the other women’s quarterfinal Wednesday to spoil a chance at an All-American semifinal.
