ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain with Thrombospondin type-1 modules) is a family of zinc-dependent proteases that are implicated in a variety of normal and pathological conditions, including arthritis and cancer. ADAMTS protein family members contain an N-terminal propeptide domain, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain and a C-terminus that contains a varying number of thrombospondin type-1 (TSP-1) motifs. ADAMTS genes are primarily expressed in fetal tissues, including the lung, kidney and liver. ADAMTS-2 cleaves the propeptides of Collagen Type I and II, but not Collagen Type III, prior to fibril assembly. It may also play a role in development aside from collagen biosynthesis. ADAMTS-2 is secreted and associated with the extracellular matrix, with the highest levels in skin, bone, tendon and aorta. Defects in ADAMTS2 are the cause of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VIIC (EDS VIIC), a recessively inherited connective-tissue disorder characterized clinically by severe skin fragility and joint hypermobility.
