Background
This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins containing several distinct regions, including a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. The enzyme encoded by this gene specifically cleaves von Willebrand Factor (vWF). Defects in this gene are associated with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013],
Function
catalytic activity:Cleaves the vWF at the 842-Tyr-|-Met-843 in the A2 domain of the vWF subunit.,cofactor:Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.,cofactor:Binds 4 calcium ions .,disease:Defects in ADAMTS13 are the cause of congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) [MIM:274150]; also known as Upshaw-Schulman syndrome (USS). Congenital TTP is a life-threatening systemic disorder due to constitutional deficiency of vWF-cleaving protease. Typical features are hemolytic anemia with fragmentation of erythrocytes, thrombocytopenia, diffuse and nonfocal neurologic findings, decreased renal function and fever. Congenital TTP is characterized by neonatal onset, response to fresh plasma infusion and frequent relapses. Inheritance pattern is autosomal recessive. In sporadic cases, TTP is associated with deficiency of vWF-cleaving protease due to the presence of inhibiting autoantibodies (acquired T
