Background Information
A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 2 (ADAMTS-2) is a metalloproteinase that plays a key role in the processing of fibrillar procollagen precursors into mature collagen molecules by excising the amino-propeptide. ADAMTS-2 can, like the procollagen C-proteinases, be regulated by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), with implications for mechanisms whereby this growth factor effects net increases in formation of extracellular matrix. Mutations in the ADAMTS-2 gene cause dermatosparaxis in human (dermatosparactic type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, also known as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VIIC). Human ADAMTS-2 has eight potential sites for Asn-linked glycosylation and other mammals (PMID: 16046392, 12646579).
