ADAMTS-13 and von Willebrand factor: a dynamic duo. [PDF]
von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a key player in hemostasis, acting as a carrier for factor VIII and capturing platelets at sites of vascular damage. To capture platelets, it must undergo conformational changes, both within its A1 domain and at the macromolecular level through A2 domain unfolding.

A rapid enzyme‐linked assay for ADAMTS‐13 [PDF]
A deficiency in the plasma metalloprotease ADAMTS-13 is associated with deposition of microvascular thrombi that cause thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Current assays for ADAMTS-13 are technically complex and time-consuming. The objective of this study is to devise a rapid and sensitive assay for ADAMTS-13 activity in plasma and verify the site of ...

Introduction. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and von Willebrand factor (vWF) are integral players in thrombosis and inflammation in cancer patients. It has been increasingly evident that an active interplay exists between NETs and vWF.

Severe deficiency of ADAMTS-13 leads to thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Few studies have reported reduced activity of ADAMTS-13 in patients with atypical and typical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

Introduction. The signifi cance of ADAMTS-13 extends beyond its key role in the pathogenesis of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP); there is evidence of a relationship between a decrease in the ADAMTS-13 activity and thrombotic events in acute myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke.Aim. To generalise available information on the structure and

BACKGROUND: Immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is caused by inhibitory and/or clearing anti-ADAMTS-13 (A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease with ThromboSpondin type 1 repeats, member 13) autoantibodies.

Changes in plasma von Willebrand factor concentration (VWF:Ag) and ADAMTS-13 activity (the metalloprotease that cleaves VWF physiologically) have been reported in several cardiovascular disorders with prognostic implications.

Expression and characterization of recombinant human ADAMTS-13 [PDF]
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a severe disease associated with unusually large, hemostatically hyperactive von Willebrand factor (VWF) and severe deficiency in ADAMTS-13, the protease responsible for the proteolytic degradation of VWF in plasma.

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare multisystem disorder characterized by single or recurrent episodes of thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and widespread microvascular thrombosis, which causes significant morbidity and
