Is There a Role of ADAMTS-1 in Cyst Development in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease?
Objective: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most commonly inherited kidney disease. It is characterized by the development of multiple bilateral cysts that cause enlargement of the kidney. The underlying mechanisms related with

ADAMTS-1 Is an Active Metalloproteinase Associated with the Extracellular Matrix [PDF]
Cellular disintegrin and metalloproteinases (ADAMs) are a family of genes with a sequence similar to the snake venom metalloproteinases and disintegrins. ADAMTS-1 is a unique ADAM family protein with respect to the presence of thrombospondin type I motifs and the capacity to bind to the extracellular matrix.

Identification of Prodomain Determinants Involved in ADAMTS-1 Biosynthesis [PDF]
The metalloprotease ADAMTS-1 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type I motif), similarly to other members of the ADAMTS family, is initially synthesized as a zymogen, proADAMTS-1, that undergoes proteolytic processing at the prodomain/catalytic domain junction by serine proteinases of the furin-like family of proprotein convertases.

ADAMTS proteases in cardiovascular physiology and disease [PDF]
The a disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif (ADAMTS) family comprises 19 proteases that regulate the structure and function of extracellular proteins in the extracellular matrix and blood.

Gene expression and immunohistochemistry analysis of ADAMTS-1 and its substrates in odontogenic keratocyst. [PDF]
Considering the significant participation of the microenvironment in the local aggressiveness of odontogenic keratocysts, this study aims to evaluate the expression of ADAMTS-1 and its substrates, versican, aggrecan and brevican in this locally invasive odontogenic cyst.Immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were conducted on 30 cases

Differential Effects of ADAMTS-1, -4, and -5 in the Trabecular Meshwork [PDF]
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) and increase outflow facility in anterior segment perfusion culture. One group is the ADAMTSs (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motifs). In this study, the authors examined the effects of ADAMTS-1, -4, and -5 on outflow facility and investigated their mRNA

Fibulin-1 Acts as a Cofactor for the Matrix Metalloprotease ADAMTS-1 [PDF]
ADAMTS-1 is a metalloprotease that has been implicated in the inhibition of angiogenesis and is a mediator of proteolytic cleavage of the hyaluronan binding proteoglycans, aggrecan and versican. In an attempt to further understand the biological function of ADAMTS-1, a yeast two-hybrid screen was performed using the carboxyl-terminal region of ADAMTS-1
