    J Biol Chem 274:18821-6. 1999
    ..Consequently, ADAMTS-1 is an active metalloprotease that is associated with the extracellular matrix. This study strongly suggests that ADAMTS-1 may play a role in the inflammatory process through its protease activity...

    K Kuno
    Department of Molecular Membrane Biology, Cancer Research Institute, Kanazawa University, Ishikawa, Japan
    FEBS Lett 478:241-5. 2000
    ..In addition, deletional analysis demonstrated that the C-terminal spacer region of ADAMTS-1 is necessary to degrade aggrecan. These results suggest that ADAMTS-1 may be involved in the turnover of aggrecan in vivo...
