Product details:
Abcam's ADAM9 Human ELISA Kit (ab193690) is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of Human ADAM9 in serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants.
This assay employs an antibody specific for Human ADAM9 coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and the immobilized antibody captures ADAM9 present in the samples. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-Human ADAM9 antibody is added. After washing away any unbound biotinylated antibody, an HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. After incubation, the wells are again washed, followed by the addition of a TMB substrate solution to the wells. Color will develop in proportion to the amount of ADAM9 bound in each well. Addition of the Stop Solution will change the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.

ADAM9 also known as Meltrin gamma is a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) family characterized by both proteolytic and adhesive properties. The ADAM9 protein weighs approximately 84 kDa and is expressed in various tissues including the brain throat and lungs. It plays an important role in cellular processes such as cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions due to its disintegrin domain.
Biological function summary
ADAM9 participates in numerous essential cellular functions particularly in cell surface protein shedding and proteolytic activities. It is part of the protease complex involved in shedding epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligands. This action impacts cell signaling pathways that contribute to processes such as cell proliferation migration and invasion.
Pathways
Many studies link ADAM9 to pathways involving cell signal modulation and extracellular matrix remodeling. It participates in the EGFR signaling pathway significantly affecting cell behavior. ADAM9 interacts with other proteins such as integrins which facilitate changes in cell dynamics and communication.
Evidence implicates ADAM9 in several cancers including breast cancer and prostate cancer. It plays a role in cancer development by promoting cell invasion and metastasis. ADAM9 is also associated with Alzheimer's disease through interactions with proteins like APP (amyloid precursor protein) suggesting its involvement in neuronal degradation and plaque formation.
