[5][6] This gene encodes a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain) family.

Members of this family are membrane-anchored proteins structurally related to snake venom disintegrins, and have been implicated in a variety of biologic processes involving cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, including fertilization, muscle development, and neurogenesis.

The protein encoded by this gene is a sperm surface protein.
