Rabbit Anti-ADAMTS8/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
ADAMTS proteases are secreted enzymes containing a prometalloprotease domain of the reprolysin type. The ADAMTS proteases function in processing of procollagens and von Willebrand factor as well as catabolism of aggrecan, versican and brevican. They have been demonstrated to have important roles in connective tissue organization, coagulation, inflammation, arthritis, angiogenesis and cell migration.
A member of the metalloproteinase family containing disintegrin like domains (ADAMs), the function of ADAMTS8 is still poorly understood. ADAMTS8 contains the canonical HExxHxxxxxH zinc metalloproteinase motif, and has been shown to be proteolytically active on a range of substrates. ADAMTS8 is inhibited by the endogenous MMP inhibitors, TIMP1, 2, 3 and 4, but most efficiently by TIMP3. In addition to the metalloprotease domain, ADAMTS8 has a propeptide domain, a Prohormone Convertase (PC, furin) cleavage site, a cysteine rich domain and thrombospondin 1 like domains.
Function:
Has anti-angiogenic properties.
Subcellular Location:
Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix (By similarity).
Tissue Specificity:
Highly expressed in adult and fetal lung, lower expression in brain, placenta, heart, stomach and fetal brain and kidney.
Post-translational modifications:
The precursor is cleaved by a furin endopeptidase (By similarity).
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. Also can be SLCglycosylated 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 (By similarity).
Similarity:
Contains 1 disintegrin domain.
Contains 1 peptidase M12B domain.
Contains 2 TSP type-1 domains.
