The Drosophila melanogaster kuzbanian (kuz) gene (CG7147) is expressed in the nervous system. It encodes a member of the zinc metalloproteinases with a disintegrin domain and the protein thus is a member of the ADAM protein family. The protein is highly conserved and is closley related to the TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE). The mammalian homolog is ADAM10 [a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain 10].
The protein is essential for the partitioning of neural and nonneuronal cells during development of both the central and peripheral nervous systems in Drosophila melanogaster
