In sepsis, the severity-dependent decrease of von Willebrand factor (VWF)-inactivating protease, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 13 (ADAMTS13), results in platelet aggregation and consumption, leading to sepsis-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) and organ failure.

The inherited deficiency of ADAMTS13 is usually associated with severe forms of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Among the mutations identified in the ADAMTS13 gene, none have been described on the TSP1-6 repeat domain.

ADAMTS13 activity as a novel risk factor for incident type 2 diabetes mellitus: a population-based cohort study [PDF]
Aims/hypothesis: ADAMTS13 is a protease that breaks down von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimers into smaller, less active particles. VWF has been associated with an increased risk of incident type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The Intriguing Relationships of von Willebrand Factor, ADAMTS13 and Cardiac Disease
von Willebrand factor (VWF) is an adhesive protein involved in primary hemostasis and facilitates platelet adhesion to sites of vascular injury, thereby promoting thrombus formation. VWF exists in plasma as multimers of increasing size, with the largest (

Thrombotic microangiopathies: thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura / hemolytic uremic syndrome [PDF]
Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) are pathological conditions characterized by generalized microvascular occlusion by platelet thrombi, thrombocytopenia, and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia.

Pathogenicity of anti-ADAMTS13 autoantibodies in acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is an autoimmune disease in which anti-ADAMTS13 autoantibodies cause severe enzyme deficiency.

Hypercoagulability progresses to hypocoagulability during evolution of acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury in pigs [PDF]
Increases in prothrombin time (PT) and international normalised ratio (INR) characterise acute liver injury (ALI) and failure (ALF), yet a wide heterogeneity in clotting abnormalities exists.

Shedding Light on the Possible Link between ADAMTS13 and Vaccine—Induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia
Several recent reports have highlighted the onset of vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopaenia (VITT) in some recipients (approximately 1 case out of 100k exposures) of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine (AstraZeneca).

ADAMTS13, an Anti-thrombotic Protein: Evidence Outside of Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a large multimeric plasma glycoprotein that plays a crucial role in hemostasis and thrombosis. VWF recruits platelets at sites of vascular injury by acting as a molecular bridge between circulating platelets and the site of injured or activated blood vessels.
