ADAMTS1: Proteins and Enzymes

Members of the ADAMTS family contain pro, catalytic, disintegrin-like, cysteine-rich, spacer and a variable number of TS type 1 motifs. In contrast to membrane-anchored ADAMs, ADAMTSs are secreted and are all active proteases. They are essential for aggrecan turnover and procollagen processing, regulation of which is important in many physiologi...
