Abstract excerpt
The a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS) family is made up of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and enzymes involved in regulating tissue structure and function. The ECM is a network of proteins and polysaccharides surrounding the cells that provide support and maintain cellular function. Mutations to proteins in the ECM lead to systemic connective tissue disorders by...
