ADAM9 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human ADAM9 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 8p11.22 and is approximately 108 kb in length. This allele, which encodes disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 9, plays a role in the cleavage and solubilzation of many biologically active membrane-bound proteins. Mutation of the gene is associated with cone-rod dystrophy type 9.
