Rat models of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura reveal crucial role of placental ADAMTS13 in perinatal survival [PDF]
: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), a life-threatening thrombotic microangiopathy, is caused by severe deficiency of plasma ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 repeats, 13) activity.

Plasma von Willebrand Factor and ADAMTS13 Interact With APOE‐ε4 in Predicting Longitudinal Brain Atrophy and Cognitive Decline Over a 9‐Year Follow‐Up [PDF]
Background Von Willebrand factor (VWF) and ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 13) are linked to dementia risk, and limited evidence suggests apolipoprotein E (APOE)‐ε4 alters VWF release.

Factor XI/ADAMTS13 complexes are quantitatively insignificant in human plasma [PDF]
Reportedly, complexes between factor XI and ADAMTS13 are detected with a commercial ADAMTS13/FXI ELISA kit in plasma and are decreased in thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP).

TTP-Like Syndrome and Subsequent Non-Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in HbSC Disease: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) with hemoglobin‐ (Hb‐) SC genotype is often considered a milder SCD variant, yet life‐threatening complications can occur. A 26‐year‐old man with HbSC disease presented with an infection triggered vaso‐occlusive crisis (VOC), acute chest syndrome (ACS), severe thrombocytopenia, Coombs‐negative hemolysis with ...

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 ...

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.

Characterization of coding synonymous and non-synonymous variants in ADAMTS13 using ex vivo and in silico approaches. [PDF]
Synonymous variations, which are defined as codon substitutions that do not change the encoded amino acid, were previously thought to have no effect on the properties of the synthesized protein(s).

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.
