Description
This gene encodes a member of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) protein family. Members of the family share several distinct protein modules, including a propeptide region, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. Individual members of this family differ in the number of C-terminal TS motifs, and some have unique C-terminal domains. The enzyme encoded by this gene contains two C-terminal TS motifs and functions as aggrecanase to cleave aggrecan, a major proteoglycan of cartilage.

Description
Specificity: Not tested with other proteinsRelevance: ADAMTS5, also known as Implantin or Aggrecanase 2, is a member of the larger family of ADAM (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase) metalloproteinases containing thrombospondin (TS) repeats. ADAMTS5 (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin-5 motif) was first described as ADAMTS5, a protein elevated in mice during the peri-implantion period. At the same time, another group identified Aggrecanase 11, a protein elevated in arthritic synovium. The name was later changed to ADAMTS5. ADAMTS5 is expressed in human and mouse. It has been found in heart, lung, cervix, uterus, ovary, brain, cartilage, and numerous other tissues, as well as chondroblastoma cell lines. Initial observations indicated a role for ADAMTS5 in aggrecan cleavage and cartilage destruction, especially in arthritis, and potentially a role in embryo implantation. ADAMTS5 contains the canonical HExxHxxxxxH zinc metalloproteinase motif, and has been shown to efficiently cleave Aggrecan. In addition to the metalloprotease domain, ADAMTS5 has a propeptide domain, a prohormone convertase (PC, furin) cleavage site, a cysteine-rich domain, a spacer domain, and two thrombospondin-1 like domains. ADAMTS5 is inhibited by the endogenous MMP inhibitors (TIMP1, 2, 3, and 4) but most efficiently by TIMP3. Unlike many of the ADAMs proteases, ADAMTS5 does not have a transmembrane domain, and is a secreted protein. Full length ADAMTS5 is a 930 amino acid protein with a predicted molecular mass is 101.7 kDa, but glycosylation and the abundance of cysteine residues gives ADAMTS5 a greater apparent molecular weight on reduced SDS PAGE gels. When ADAMTS5 is secreted, it is cleaved at the furin cleavage site (predicted molecular mass 73.2 kDa) and then further cleaved to generate a range of smaller forms.
