ADAMTS13 in Bothrops lanceolatus snakebite envenoming: Crude venom-induced reduction of in vitro enzymatic activity and clinical correlation in snakebite patients. [PDF]
BackgroundEnvenoming by Bothrops lanceolatus, a viperid endemic to Martinique an island in the Lesser Antilles, induces a unique clinical manifestation, i.e., thrombosis. Pathophysiological signaling leading to thrombotic events remains poorly understood.

Overview of ADAMTS13 Protein in Diagnosis and Patient Management of TTP [PDF]
The accurate diagnosis and effective management of Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP), a rare but life-threatening hematologic disorder, rely critically on the assessment of ADAMTS13 activity.

Unraveling antibody-induced structural dynamics in the ADAMTS13 CUB1-2 domains via HDX-MS [PDF]
: Allosteric regulation of ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type-1 motif, member 13) activity involves an interaction between its spacer (S) and 2 complement C1r/C1s, Uegf and BMP1 (CUB; CUB1-2) domains to keep the enzyme

Aberrant Expression of A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase With Thrombospondin Motifs 13 (ADAMTS13) in Pancreatic Cancer Leads to Dichotomic Functions. [PDF]
Allmang et al. demonstrated that ADAMTS13 is overexpressed in PDAC, associated with prolonged survival and reduced vascular density. Knockout of ADAMTS13 in PDAC cells led to a decrease in migration and invasion. In a xenograft model, loss of ADAMTS13 altered angiogenesis, vascular maturation, and reduced the expression of key angiogenic factors ...

ADAMTS13 is a plasma metalloprotease with the primary function of cleaving VWF to maintain hemostasis. Circulating ADAMTS13 is in the closed conformation until blood vessel injury triggers a VWF-dependant activation to the open active form of the protein.

Characterization of ADAMTS13 and von Willebrand factor levels in septic and non-septic ICU patients.
Sepsis is a life-threatening disease characterized by excessive host response to infection that can lead to activation of the coagulation system. Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) and ADAMTS13 are important regulators of hemostasis and their dysregulation ...

Localization of blood proteins thrombospondin1 and ADAMTS13 to cerebral corpora amylacea [PDF]
Corpora amylacea (CA) have long been described in aging brains and in patients with neurodegenerative conditions, but their origins have been debated. It has been proposed that CA represent collections of nervous system breakdown products that accumulate within astrocytic cytoplasm.

The effects of synonymous single nucleotide variants (sSNVs) are often neglected since they do not alter protein primary structure. Nevertheless, there is growing evidence that synonymous variations may impact mRNA expression, protein conformation and activity which may lead to protein deficiency and disease manifestations.

Characterization of conformation-sensitive antibodies to ADAMTS13, the von Willebrand cleavage protease. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:The zinc metalloprotease ADAMTS13 is a multidomain protein that cleaves von Willebrand Factor (VWF) and is implicated in Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) pathogenesis.
