MGI:105984Males homozygous for a targeted null mutation are subfertile and produce an increased number of polyspermic embryos at the pronuclear stage. Female homozygotes show normal fertility.
ADAM24,全称为A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease 24,是一种在生物学过程中具有重要作用的基因。ADAM家族是一类包含去整合素和金属蛋白酶结构的蛋白质,它们在多种生物学过程中扮演着重要的角色,包括细胞粘附、细胞信号传导、细胞凋亡和细胞迁移等[1]。ADAM24作为ADAM家族的一员,其编码的蛋白质也具有这些功能,参与调控细胞间的相互作用和信号传导。
