Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: A disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 repeats-13 (ADAMTS13) inhibits platelet aggregation and arterial thrombosis by cleavage of von Willebrand factor. However, the structural components of ADAMTS13 required for inhibition of arterial thrombosis are not fully defined. METHODS AND RESULTS: Using recombinant proteins and a murine model, we demonstrated that an ADAMTS13 variant...
