Development of Selective ADAMTS-5 Peptide Substrates to Monitor Proteinase Activity. [PDF]
The dysregulation of proteinase activity is a hallmark of osteoarthritis (OA), a disease characterized by progressive degradation of articular cartilage by catabolic proteinases such as a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type I motifs-5 (ADAMTS-5).

Proteolytic Activities of Human ADAMTS-5 [PDF]
Aggrecanases have been characterized as proteinases that cleave the Glu373-Ala374 bond of the aggrecan core protein, and they are multidomain metalloproteinases belonging to the ADAMTS (adamalysin with thrombospondin type 1 motifs) family. The first aggrecanases discovered were ADAMTS-4 (aggrecanase 1) and ADAMTS-5 (aggrecanase 2).

Role of ADAMTS-5 in Aortic Dilatation and Extracellular Matrix Remodeling. [PDF]
Objective— Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), a degenerative disease of the aortic wall, is accompanied by changes in the structure and composition of the aortic ECM (extracellular matrix). The ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) family of proteases has recently been implicated in TAA formation.

Expression and activity of ADAMTS‐5 in synovium [PDF]
ADAMTS proteinases, belonging to the adamalysin subfamily of metalloproteinases, have been implicated in a variety of cellular events such as morphogenesis, cell migration, angiogenesis, ovulation and extracellular matrix breakdown. Aggrecanase‐1 (ADAMTS‐4) and aggrecanase‐2 (ADAMTS‐5) have been identified in cartilage and are largely responsible for ...

In Silico Insights into the Inhibition of ADAMTS-5 by Punicalagin and Ellagic Acid for the Treatment of Osteoarthritis. [PDF]
ADAMTS-5 (aggrecanase-2) is a major metalloprotease involved in regulating the cartilage extracellular matrix. Due to its role in removing aggrecan in the progression of osteoarthritis (OA), ADAMTS-5 is often regarded as a potential therapeutic target for OA.

Antibody-based exosite inhibitors of ADAMTS-5 (aggrecanase-2). [PDF]
Adamalysin-like metalloproteinases with thrombospondin (TS) motifs (ADAMTS)-5 is the multi-domain metalloproteinase that most potently degrades aggrecan proteoglycan in the cartilage and its activity is implicated in the development of osteoarthritis (OA).
