CD156 is a member of a family proteins characterized by a disintegrin and a metalloprotease domain (ADAM). These molecules are phylogenically conserved but have individual roles in a variety of cells. Here, Shunsuke Yamamoto and colleagues discuss data suggesting that ADAM family proteins have important roles in the immune system.
CD156是一类以去整合素和金属蛋白酶结构域（ADAM）为特征的蛋白质家族成员。这些分子在系统发育上具有保守性，但在多种细胞中发挥着各自的作用。在这里，山本俊辅及其同事讨论了表明ADAM家族蛋白在免疫系统中具有重要作用的数据。
