Abstract excerpt
ADAMTS13 (A D: isintegrin A: nd M: etalloprotease with a T: hromboS: pondin type-1 motif, member 13: ) and von Willebrand factor (VWF) can be considered as scale weights which control platelet adhesion during primary haemostasis. In a very uncommon condition designated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), functional absence of ADAMTS13 tips the balance toward VWF-mediated platelet adhesion in the...
