OverviewNCBI Gene

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 encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protease. This protease, a member of the procollagen aminopropeptidase subfamily of proteins, may play a role in the processing of type II fibrillar collagen in articular cartilage.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ADAMTS3 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads ADAMTS3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ADAMTS3 could matter depends on whether native ADAMTS3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ADAMTS3 is annotated as secreted, so native ADAMTS3 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label ADAMTS3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
