Characterization of conformation-sensitive antibodies to ADAMTS13, the von Willebrand cleavage protease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
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]

PLoS ONE, 2012
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).

The Role of the VWF/ADAMTS13 Axis in the Thromboinflammatory Response in Ischemic Stroke After SARS-CoV2 Infection. [PDF]

Brain Behav
ABSTRACT Background SARS‐CoV2 infections increase the risk of ischemic stroke (IS), potentially through a thromboinflammatory cascade driven by an imbalance in the ratio of Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13 (ADAMTS13), leading to the formation of ultra‐large VWF (UL‐VWF ...

The Intriguing Connections between von Willebrand Factor, ADAMTS13 and Cancer

Healthcare, 2022
von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a complex and large protein that is cleaved by ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13), and together they serve important roles in normal hemostasis.

Probing ADAMTS13 substrate specificity using phage display. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a large, multimeric protein that regulates hemostasis by tethering platelets to the subendothelial matrix at sites of vascular damage.

Efficacy and Safety of Rituximab in Connective Tissue Disease-Associated Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura/Thrombotic Microangiopathy. [PDF]

Int J Rheum Dis
ABSTRACT Introduction This study examined the efficacy and safety of Rituximab (RTX) treatment in connective tissue disease (CTD)‐associated thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), using historical controls as comparators.

Levels of von Willebrand factor antigen and von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (ADAMTS13) activity predict clinical events in chronic heart failure. [PDF]

, 2009
Decreased activity of ADAMTS13, the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease, was recently reported in cardiovascular diseases and in hepatic failure.

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.

Phenotypic expression of ADAMTS13 in glomerular endothelial cells.

PLoS ONE, 2011
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 ...

Effect of plasma exchange on COVID-19 associated excess of von Willebrand factor and inflammation in critically ill patients

Scientific Reports, 2022
Ubiquitous microthromboses in the pulmonary vasculature play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Excess of Willebrand factor (vWf) with intravascular multimer formation was identified as a
