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.

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.

Recombinant ADAMTS-13 Improves Survival of Mice Subjected to Endotoxemia [PDF]
When stimulated by proinflammatory mediators, endothelial cells release ultra-large von Willebrand factor (ULVWF) multimers that are hyperactive in activating and aggregating platelets.

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.

ADAMTS-13 proteolyzed by thrombin has reduced affinity for von Willebrand factor (VWF)
(A) 6 n ADAMTS-13, 60 n thrombin-cleaved ADAMTS-13 (ADAMTS-13/FIIa) or 60 n thrombin-cleaved ADAMTS-13/6 n ADAMTS-13 (10:1 mix) was incubated with 10 n purified plasma-derived VWF in the presence of 1.5 urea and 5 m BaCl.
