Related Product Information for ADAMTS13 active protein

ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 13), also known as von Willebran Factor (vWF) cleaving protease, is a member of the family of secreted zinc proteases with a multi-domain structure (1-3). The protein precursors consist of a signal peptide and following domains: pro, catalytic, disintegrin-like, TS type 1 motif, cystein-rich, spacer, a second set of seven TSP1 repeats, and two CUB domins. The only known substrate of ADAMTS13 is vWF, a blood glycoprotein with two homeostatic functions (4). It is required for platelet adhesion to sites of vascular damage and acts as a carrier protein for blood-clotting factor VIII in the circulation. It exists in plasma as multimers, the largest of which effectively mediate platelet adhesion. ADAMTS13 cleaves multimeric vWF in the A2 domain at the position, Tyr 1605-Met 1606. Defect in ADAMTS13 activity is a cause of congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), also known as Upshaw-Schulman syndrome. Lack of ADAMTS13 activity allows unusually large vWF (UlvWF) to occur in plasma (5). These UlvWF multimers have tendency to agglutinate circulating platelets at sites with high levels of shear stress to cause TTP.

Recombinant protein corresponding to Gln34-Trp688 with a C-terminal 10X-His tag from human ADAMTS13 (Accession #NP_620594), expressed in CHO cell line. The purified rhADAMTS13 starts at the N-terminus of the pro domain and ends in the spacer domain.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins containing several distinct regions, including a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. The enzyme encoded by this gene specifically cleaves von Willebrand Factor (vWF). Defects in this gene are associated with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

Uniprot Description

ADAMTS13: Cleaves the vWF multimers in plasma into smaller forms. Defects in ADAMTS13 are the cause of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura congenital (TTP); also known as Upshaw-Schulman syndrome (USS). A hematologic disease characterized by hemolytic anemia with fragmentation of erythrocytes, thrombocytopenia, diffuse and non-focal neurologic findings, decreased renal function and fever. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
