NCIt definition : A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 13 (1427 aa, 154 kDa)
is encoded by the human ADAMTS13 gene. This protein plays a role in the proteolysis
of von Willebrand factor multimers.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: An antigen encoded by the ADAMTS13 gene and cleaves von Willebrand Factor (vWF).
It can be considered as an autoantigen and is commonly associated with the autoimmune
disease immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP).;
