3 results about "ADAMTS" patented technology

ADAMTS (short for a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) is a family of multidomain extracellular protease enzymes. 19 members of this family have been identified in humans, the first of which, ADAMTS1, was described in 1997. Known functions of the ADAMTS proteases include processing of procollagens and von Willebrand factor as well as cleavage of aggrecan, versican, brevican and neurocan, making them key remodeling enzymes of the extracellular matrix. They have been demonstrated to have important roles in connective tissue organization, coagulation, inflammation, arthritis, angiogenesis and cell migration. Homologous subfamily of ADAMTSL (ADAMTS-like) proteins, which lack enzymatic activity, has also been described. Most cases of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura arise from autoantibody-mediated inhibition of ADAMTS13.

Method and kit for detecting ADAMTS13 activity and inhibitor

The invention discloses a method for detecting the activity of ADAMTS13, a method for detecting an ADAMTS13 inhibitor and a kit. The method comprises the following steps: exposing a VWF restriction enzyme cutting site through urea by adopting an ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) combined dialysis technology, cutting VWF by utilizing ADAMTS13, separating large and small molecule VWF through dialysis, finally detecting the absorbance ratio of the VWF before and after dialysis through the ELISA, and calculating the activity or inhibitor state of ADAMTS13. The method provided by the invention has the advantages of strong specificity, high sensitivity and good repeatability, and is suitable for large-scale sample detection.
