Abstract excerpt
A suggestive locus on chromosome 8 could be shown to be associated with familial high factor VIII (FVIII) levels in venous thromboembolism. The ADAMDEC 1 gene is a candidate expressing an ectodomain sheddase. However, the ectodomain of the clearance receptor for FVIII, the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP), is subject to proteolysis by metalloproteases like ADAMDEC1. Other LRP-interacting...
