Human ADAMTS1 ELISA Kit PicoKine®

ADAMTS1 (A Disintegrin-Like and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Type 1 Motif, 1), also known as METH1, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ADAMTS1 gene. ADAMTS is a family of proteins believed to be anchored to the extracellular matrix (ECM) through interactions with aggregan or other matrix components by one or more thrombospondin type 1 motifs. ADAMTS1 gene is mapped to 21q21.2 based on sequence similarity between the ADAMTS1 sequence and a chromosome 21q21.2 clone. It has been found that ADAMTS1 can disrupt angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro more efficiently than ADAMTS8, THBS1, or endostatin. What’s more, ADAMTS1 disrupts angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro more efficiently than ADAMTS8, THBS1, or endostatin.

Cleaves aggrecan, a cartilage proteoglycan, and may be involved in its turnover (By similarity) . Has angiogenic inhibitor activity. Active metalloprotease, which may be associated with various inflammatory processes as well as development of cancer cachexia. May play a critical role in follicular rupture. .
