Association of ADAMTS-5 gene polymorphisms with the susceptibility to knee osteoarthritis in a Chinese Han population. [PDF]
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent type of arthritis and the main reason for progressive disability in middle-aged and older people. Studies of candidate genes may provide a novel insight and treatment strategy for knee osteoarthritis (KOA).

ADAMTS‐5: A difficult teenager turning 20
A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with ThromboSpondin motif (ADAMTS)‐5 was identified in 1999 as one of the enzymes responsible for cleaving aggrecan, the major proteoglycan in articular cartilage.

ADAMTS-5: The story so far [PDF]
The recent discovery of ADAMTS-5 as the major aggrecanase in mouse cartilage came as a surprise. A great deal of research had focused on ADAMTS-4 and much less was known about the regulation, expression and activity of ADAMTS-5. Two years on, it is still

Computational Insights into Flavonoids for ADAMTS-5 Exosite Inhibition in Knee Osteoarthritis: Docking, MD Simulations, and Machine Learning-Guided Structure Prediction [PDF]
The limited selectivity of most catalytic-site ADAMTS-5 inhibitors and the necessity to preserve aggrecan integrity in early-grade knee osteoarthritis require the development of selective aggrecanase inhibitors.

Matrix-degrading protease ADAMTS-5 cleaves inter-α-inhibitor and releases active heavy chain 2 in synovial fluids from arthritic patients. [PDF]
Destruction of the cartilage matrix in joints is an important feature of arthritis. Proteolytic degradation of cartilage glycoproteins can contribute to the loss of matrix integrity.
