Reduced ADAMTS13 levels in patients with acute and chronic cerebrovascular disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) plays a major role in thrombosis and hemostasis and its thrombogenicity is controlled by ADAMTS13. Whereas increasing evidence shows a clear association between VWF levels and acute ischemic stroke, little is known about a ...

A rare case of renal thrombotic microangiopathy associated with Castleman’s disease [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND: Castleman’s disease (CD) is an uncommon, heterogeneous lympho-proliferative disorder leading to high circulating levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).

Genetic variants in ADAMTS13 as well as smoking are major determinants of plasma ADAMTS13 levels
Blood Advances, 2017 : The metalloprotease ADAMTS13 cleaves von Willebrand factor (VWF) in circulating blood, limiting the size of VWF multimers and regulating VWF activity. Abnormal regulation of VWF contributes to bleeding and to thrombotic disorders.

Mechanistic Studies on ADAMTS13 Catalysis [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2008 The zinc-protease a disintegrin-like and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type I repeats (ADAMTS13) cleaves the Tyr(1605)-Met(1606) peptide bond of von Willebrand factor (VWF), avoiding the accumulation of ultra large VWF multimers. Hydrolysis by ADAMTS13 of a VWF analog (Asp(1596)-Arg(1668) peptide, fluorescence energy transfer substrate [FRETS ...

Thrombosis Journal, 2017 Background The mechanisms behind residual platelet reactivity (RPR) despite aspirin treatment are not established. It has been shown that coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with high on-aspirin RPR have elevated levels of von Willebrand factor (vWF).

Association between ADAMTS13 deficiency and cardiovascular events in chronic hemodialysis patients
Scientific Reports, 2021 A mild decrease of ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospodin type 1 motif 13) could attribute to stroke and coronary heart disease in general population.

Increased plasma von Willebrand factor antigen levels but normal von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (ADAMTS13) activity in preeclampsia. [PDF]
, 2009 The activity of ADAMTS13, the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease is low in several conditions, including HELLP (haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count) syndrome.

ADAMTS13 and microvascular thrombosis [PDF]
Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2006 Interaction between platelet and von Willebrand factor, a circulating adhesive glycoprotein, is essential for hemostasis under the high shear environments of arterioles and capillaries. If unregulated, this interaction may lead to unwarranted platelet thrombosis.

Signalment risk factors for cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (Alabama rot) in dogs in the UK [PDF]
, 2018 Seasonal outbreaks of cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV) have been reported annually in UK dogs since 2012, yet the aetiology of the disease remains unknown. The objectives of this study were to explore whether any breeds had an increased

Frontiers in Medicine, 2017 Platelet recruitment to sites of vascular injury is mediated by von Willebrand factor (VWF). The shear-induced unraveling of ultra-large VWF multimers causes the formation of a “stringlike” conformation, which rapidly recruits platelets from the ...
