Anti-ADAMTS13 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 13. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1427 amino acid residues and a mass of 153.6 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. Up to 4 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in plasma. ADAMTS13 is known to be involved with cell matrix adhesion and the cellular response to lipopolysaccharides. Synonyms for this target antigen include VWFCP, vWF-CP, A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 13, a disintegrin-like and metalloprotease (reprolysin type) with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 13, and C9orf8. ADAMTS13 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of ADAMTS13 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. ELISA is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Western Blot is also a common application.
