Additional Info
Tissue Specificity
Expressed in brain, lung and heart. Expressed at very low level in placenta and skeletal muscles. Isoform 2: Detected in osteoarthritic synovium.
Post Translational Modifications
The precursor is cleaved by a furin endopeptidase. Glycosylated. Can be O-fucosylated by POFUT2 on a serine or a threonine residue found within the consensus sequence C1-X(2)-(S/T)-C2-G of the TSP type-1 repeat domains where C1 and C2 are the first and second cysteine residue of the repeat, respectively. Fucosylated repeats can then be further glycosylated by the addition of a beta-1,3-glucose residue by the glucosyltransferase, B3GALTL. Fucosylation mediates the efficient secretion of ADAMTS family members. Can also be C-glycosylated with one or two mannose molecules on tryptophan residues within the consensus sequence W-X-X-W of the TPRs, and N-glycosylated. These other glycosylations can also facilitate secretion.
Function
Cleaves aggrecan, a cartilage proteoglycan, at the '392-Glu-|-Ala-393' site and may be involved in its turnover. Also cleaves COMP. May play an important role in the destruction of aggrecan in arthritic diseases. Could be a critical factor in the exacerbation of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer disease.
