Biological function summary
The ADAM2 protein functions in sperm-egg interactions facilitating sperm binding to the egg's surface during fertilization. It is part of a multi-protein complex that also includes ADAM1 which enhances the binding efficiency to the egg zona pellucida. ADAM2's disintegrin domain is thought to interact with integrins on the egg membrane while the metalloproteinase domain might process surrounding proteins to prepare for fertilization.
Pathways
ADAM2 actively participates in reproduction-related signaling pathways particularly the integrin-mediated cell adhesion pathway. It collaborates with other ADAM family proteins and integrins to ensure successful fertilization. Another important pathway is the gamete fusion pathway where ADAM2 assists in the fusion process alongside other proteins such as ADAM3 ensuring gamete membrane fusion and subsequent fertilization.

General info
Function
Sperm surface membrane protein that may be involved in sperm-egg plasma membrane adhesion and fusion during fertilization. Could have a direct role in sperm-zona binding or migration of sperm from the uterus into the oviduct. Interactions with egg membrane could be mediated via binding between its disintegrin-like domain to one or more integrins receptors on the egg. This is a non catalytic metalloprotease-like protein.
Post-translational modifications
The prodomain and the metalloprotease domain are cleaved during the epididymal maturation of the spermatozoa.
