Disintegrin‐Like and Metalloprotease With Thrombospondin Type 1 Repeat Motifs 13 (ADAMTS13) Activity in 40 Healthy Dogs

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In humans, deficiency of a disintegrin‐like and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 motifs, number 13 (ADAMTS13), a von Willebrand factor (vWF) cleaving protease, is an underlying mechanism for thrombosis. The role of ADAMTS13 in canine thromboembolic disease is largely unknown.
