ADAMTS4, also known as aggrecanase-1, is a secreted ADAMTS-family metalloprotease. Curated NCBI and reviewed UniProt annotations describe cleavage of aggrecan and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP); NCBI also reports brevican degradation.
ADAMTS4 is studied in extracellular-matrix remodelling, aggrecan turnover, cartilage degradation and arthritis-related biology. Reagent selection should be based on species, sample type, assay format, application and product-level validation.
