ADAM DEC1 protein is expressed highly in the small intestine and appendix, moderately in lymph node, mucosal lining of the colon, thymus, spleen and very weakly in the bone marrow. ADAM DEC1 is induced during DC maturation and up-regulated in response to T-cell signals. It may play an important role in the control of the immune response and during pregnancy.Alternative Names: ADAM DEC1, also known as a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-like protein decysin-1, is a secreted protein which contains 1 disintegrin domain and 1 peptidase M12B domain.
