Abstract excerpt
The multimeric plasma protein von Willebrand factor (VWF) is regulated in size by its protease, ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13). Y1605-M1606 cleavage site mutations and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the VWF A1 and A2 domains were examined for alteration in ADAMTS13-mediated cleavage of VWF. Recombinant human full-length VWF (rVWF) was digested...
