The TNF-alpha Converting Enzyme (TACE), also called ADAM17 (A Disintegrin and A Metalloproteinase 17) is a type I transmembrane metalloproteinase involved in the shedding of the extracellular domain of several transmembrane proteins such as cytokines, growth factors, receptors and adhesion molecules. Some of these proteolytic events are part of cleavage cascades known as Regulated Intramembrane Proteolysis and lead to intracellular signaling. Evidence is provided that ADAM17 plays a role in atherosclerosis, in adipose tissue metabolism, insulin resistance and diabetes. The multitude of substrates cleaved by ADAM17 makes this enzyme an attractive candidate to study its role in inflammatory disorders. This review is focused on effects of ADAM17 in major metabolic tissues. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
