Rabbit anti-Human ADAMTS2 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

O95450

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ADAMTS2

Target Full Name

A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 2

Target Function

Cleaves the propeptides of type I and II collagen prior to fibril assembly. Does not act on type III collagen. Cleaves lysyl oxidase LOX at a site downstream of its propeptide cleavage site to produce a short LOX form with reduced collagen-binding activity.

Target Involvement

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome 7C (EDS7C)

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix.

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed at high level in skin, bone, tendon and aorta and at low levels in thymus and brain.

Target Research Area

Cancer

Target Synonyms

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) protein family. Members of the family share several distinct protein modules, including a propeptide region, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. Individual members of this family differ in the number of C-terminal TS motifs, and some have unique C-terminal domains. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature procollagen N-proteinase. This proteinase excises the N-propeptide of the fibrillar procollagens types I-III and type V. Mutations in this gene cause Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VIIC, a recessively inherited connective-tissue disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes an isoform that is proteolytically processed.
