Recombinant human ADAMTS13 (rADAMTS13) is a key protein in fundamental research for investigating its mode of action and the pathophysiology of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). However, the expression of rADAMTS13 is quite low in mammalian cells, which makes the production of the protein time-consuming and labor-intensive.We aimed at ...

Local Elongation of Endothelial Cell-anchored von Willebrand Factor Strings Precedes ADAMTS13 Protein-mediated Proteolysis [PDF]
Platelet-decorated von Willebrand factor (VWF) strings anchored to the endothelial surface are rapidly cleaved by ADAMTS13. Individual VWF string characteristics such as number, location, and auxiliary features of the ADAMTS13 cleavage sites were explored here using imaging and computing software.

COVID-19 is associated with an increased thromboembolic risk. However, the mechanisms triggering clot formation in those patients remain unknown.In 118 adult Caucasian severe but non-critically ill COVID-19 patients (median age 58 years; 73 % men) and 46 controls, we analyzed in vitro plasma thrombin generation profile (calibrated automated thrombogram

Escherichia coli-derived von Willebrand factor-A2 domain fluorescence/Förster resonance energy transfer proteins that quantify ADAMTS13 activity [PDF]
The cleavage of the A2 domain of von Willebrand factor (VWF) by the metalloprotease ADAMTS13 regulates VWF size and platelet thrombosis rates. Reduction or inhibition of this enzyme activity leads to thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). We generated a set of novel molecules called VWF-A2 FRET (fluorescence/Förster resonance energy transfer ...

S109 Adamts13 protein levels are decreased in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and implicated in its pathobiology [PDF]
Introduction Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) Results from failure of thrombus resolution following acute pulmonary embolism. Abnormalities in haemostasis are implicated in the pathobiology, including elevated levels of von Willebrand factor (VWF), which is normally regulated by ADAMTS13.

Levels of von Willebrand factor antigen and von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (ADAMTS13) activity predict clinical events in chronic heart failure. [PDF]
Decreased activity of ADAMTS13, the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease, was recently reported in cardiovascular diseases and in hepatic failure.

Phenotypic expression of ADAMTS13 in glomerular endothelial cells.
BackgroundADAMTS13 is the physiological von Willebrand factor (VWF)-cleaving protease. The aim of this study was to examine ADAMTS13 expression in kidneys from ADAMTS13 wild-type (Adamts13⁺/⁺) and deficient (Adamts13⁻/⁻) mice and to investigate the ...
