Recommended dilutions
WB: 1/1000 when using colorimetric substrates such as BCIP/NBT, and 1/5000 for chemiluminescent substrates. Predicted molecular weight: 90 kDa. Note: Glycosylation and the abundance of cysteine residues gives ADAMTS4 a greater apparent molecular weight on reduced SDS PAGE gels. Dilution optimised using Chromogenic detection. Not yet tested in other applications. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Cellular localization 

Secreted. Associated with the extracellular matrix.

Relevance 

A disintegrin like and metalloproteinase thrombospondin type 1 motif 4 (ADAMTS4 or aggrecanase 1) is a member of the ADAMTS family of multidomain proteins that has demonstrated metalloproteinase functions. The ADAMTS4 protein contains a prohormone convertase cleavage site, thrombospondin 1 like domain, cysteine rich domain, and a propeptide domain. ADAMTS4 activity had been shown to be blocked by TIMP1, 2, 3, and 4.

ADAMTS4 plays an important role in the cleavage of aggrecan, versican and brevican. Studies have determined that aggrecan is cleaved within the interglobular domain of aggrecan at sites Glu(373) Ala(374) and Phe(342) Glu(373). Aggrecan degradation has been linked to the development of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, retinal diseases, Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.
