ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain with Thrombospondin 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 amino-terminal propeptide do-main, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain and a carboxy-terminus that contains a varying number of Thrombospondin 1 (TSP-1) motifs. ADAMTS genes are primarily expressed in fetal tissues, including the lung, kidney and liver. The human ADAMTS13 gene maps to chromosome 9q34.2 and encodes a 1,427-amino acid protein, known as von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease, that is expressed in the liver and placenta. ADAMTS-13 cleaves the peptide bond between Tyr 842 and Met 843 in monomeric subunits of von Willebrand factor. Human ADAMTS-13 protein can be expressed as multiple variants that share a common amino-terminal sequence.
