Biological function

ADAMTS13 is the von Willebrand factor-cleaving metalloprotease. Reviewed UniProt describes cleavage of von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimers into smaller forms, thereby limiting VWF-mediated platelet thrombus formation under shear conditions.

Research context

ADAMTS13 is studied in haemostasis, thrombosis, von Willebrand factor processing and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Reagent selection should be based on species, sample type, assay format, application and product-level validation.
