| Name |
ADAM 17 endopeptidase;
tumor necrosis factor alpha-converting enzyme;
TACE
|
| Class |
Hydrolases;
Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases);
Metalloendopeptidases
 |
| Reaction(IUBMB) |
Narrow endopeptidase specificity. Cleaves Pro-Leu-Ala-Gln-Ala!Val-Arg-Ser-Ser-Ser in the membrane-bound, 26-kDa form of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha). Similarly cleaves other membrane-anchored, cell-surface proteins to "shed" the extracellular domains
|
| Comment |
In peptidase family M12. In vivo, the cleavage of tumor necrosis factor alpha precursor releases the soluble, 17-kDa TNFalpha, which induces inflammation.

| Orthology |
| disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 17 |
