ADAMTS13 Antibody

ADAMTS13 is part of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif) protein family that is responsible for cleaving von Willebrand Factor (vWF). ADAMTS13 is synthesized in the liver and secreted to the plasma. A deficiency of the ADAMTS13 protease activity results in unusually larger multimers of vWF and is associated with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.

Alternative names for ADAMTS13 Antibody include ADAMTS13 antibody, ADAMTS-13 antibody, ADAM-TS13 antibody, ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 13 antibody, VWFCP antibody, vWF-CP antibody, von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease antibody.
