Background: TACE/ADAM17
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) converting enzyme (TACE) is a member of the ADAM family that contains a disintegrin and metalloprotease-like domain. The domain structure of mouse TACE consists of pro (aa 18-214), catalytic (aa 215-474), disintegrin-like (aa 475-563), cysteine-rich (aa 564-602), Crambin-like (aa 603-671), transmembrane (aa 672-692), and cytoplasmic (aa 693-827) (1, 2). Recombinant mouse TACE ends after the disintegrin-like domain and consists of several forms as described. In addition to its ability to release the 17 kDa extracellular form of TNF-alpha from the 26 kDa membrane-anchored TNF-alpha, TACE also plays an essential role in shedding ectodomains from a variety of proteins such as L-selectin, transforming growth factor-alpha, amyloid protein precursor, and Notch1 receptor. TACE mRNA is present in virtually every tissue and TACE protein resides both on the cell surface and in the cell (3).
