ADAMTS13 ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 13

Gene ID: 11093, updated on 22-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: VWFCP; C9orf8; vWF-CP; ADAM-TS13; ADAMTS-13

Summary

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]
