Viper Venom Disintegrins and Related Molecules

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1998
The term "disintegrin" was first used in 1990 to describe a group of viper venom-derived, nonenzymatic small proteins that shared numerous structural and functional properties. These proteins, which have been found in a great number of viper species studied since that time possess both a remarkable sequence homology and an equally notable variability ...

Metalloproteinases and Their Inhibitors: Potential for the Development of New Therapeutics

open access: yesCells, 2020
The metalloproteinase (MP) family of zinc-dependent proteases, including matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a disintegrin and metalloproteases (ADAMs), and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTSs) plays a crucial role in ...

Senotherapeutics for Knee Osteoarthritis

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease that imposes a significant economic burden and deteriorates quality of life. Nevertheless, current therapeutic options for OA are limited to symptomatic remedies. As such, there is a high interest in novel methods for treating or preventing OA.

The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs) family [PDF]

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2015
AbstractThe ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs) enzymes are secreted, multi-domain matrix-associated zinc metalloendopeptidases that have diverse roles in tissue morphogenesis and patho-physiological remodeling, in inflammation and in vascular biology.

Nanobodies as next‐generation targeting platforms: From discovery technologies to translational biomedicine

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Nanobodies, derived from the variable domains of camelid heavy‐chain‐only antibodies, have emerged as transformative biomedical tools due to their nanoscale size, exceptional stability, and unique capacity to recognize cryptic epitopes. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the field, outlining the structural and biochemical features of ...

Intracellular Maturation of the Mouse Metalloprotease Disintegrin MDC15 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1998
Metalloprotease disintegrins are a family of membrane-anchored glycoproteins that play a role in fertilization, myoblast fusion, neuronal development, and cleavage of the membrane-anchored cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Here, we report the cloning and cDNA sequencing of the mouse metalloprotease disintegrin MDC15 and an analysis of its ...
