Abstract:
ADAMTS-13 is a plasma metalloprotease that cleaves von willebrand factor (vWF).At the present,it has been made great progresses on its structure, biological characteristics and function. ADAMTS-13 plays an important role in artery and venous thrombosis,besides controlling the cleaving of vWF, and the activity of the ADAMTS-13 can be effected by ion concentration and thrombin signal transduction pathway,but how the mechanism of ADAMTS-13 controlled is still not clear. This article reviews ADAMTS-13 changes,relevant mechanism and influencing factors of the enzyme regulation.
