Product details
Human ADAMTS13 ELISA kit (ab213752) is designed for the quantitative measurement of Human ADAMTS13 in cell culture supernatants, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA, citrate).
The ELISA kit is based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for ADAMTS13 has been pre-coated onto 96-well plates. Standards (CHO, Q34-W688) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for ADAMTS13 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB is used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the Human ADAMTS13 amount of sample captured in plate.
ADAMTS13 is a zinc-containing metalloprotease enzyme. The ADAMTS13 gene is mapped to chromosome 9q34 by genomic sequence analysis. It is reported that a metal-containing proteolytic enzyme (metalloprotease) in normal plasma cleaves the peptide bond between tyrosine at position 842 and methionine at position 843 in monomeric subunits of von Willebrand factor, thereby degrading the large multimers. It is confirmed that the ADAMTS13 gene encodes the von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease (VWFCP). ADAMTS13 is secreted in blood and degrades large vWf multimers, decreasing their activity.

Biological function summary
ADAMTS13 plays a role in regulating the size and function of von Willebrand factor (vWF) ensuring proper hemostatic balance. The enzyme prevents the accumulation of ultra-large vWF multimers which can lead to spontaneous platelet aggregation and thrombus formation. Although ADAMTS13 acts independently its function is closely linked to the dynamics of vWF in response to vascular injury. Properly functioning ADAMTS13 aids in maintaining normal blood flow by preventing unnecessary clot formation in the bloodstream.
Pathways
ADAMTS13 is critical in the coagulation and hemostatic pathways. It operates by modulating the activity of vWF which plays an essential role in platelet adhesion and aggregation forming part of the coagulation cascade. A significant relationship exists between ADAMTS13 and vWF in these pathways as the protease controls vWF multimer size directly impacting clot formation. In the context of hemostatic balance ADAMTS13 intersects with factors like thrombin and fibrinogen which further contribute to clotting processes.
