Preparation and Storage

Background: ADAM32

ADAM32 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain 32) is a 98 kDa member of the M12B peptidase family of proteins. It is expressed on sperm found in the testis, epididymis and vas deferens. The human ADAM32 proprecursor is a 771 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane protein. It contains a 158 aa proregion (aa 17‑174) and a 508 aa extracellular domain (ECD) (aa 175‑682). The ECD contains a nonfunctional metalloprotease domain (aa 186‑383), an integrin‑binding disintegrin region (aa 391‑479), a Cys‑rich segment (aa 480‑502) and an EGF‑like domain (aa 622‑654). In the testis, mature ADAM32 is 98 kDa in size; in the epididymis, cleavage occurs after the metalloprotease domain to generate a 44 kDa product. There are two potential splice events that show a deletion of aa 306‑401 plus a 53 aa substitution for the N‑terminal 46 amino acids. Over aa 17‑476, human ADAM32 is 66% aa identical to mouse ADAM32.
