A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 5 also known as ADAMTS5 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ADAMTS5 gene.[5][6]

Function

ADAMTS5 is a member of the

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.[7] ADAMTS5 may also have a role in the pathogenesis of human osteoarthritis.[8]

Animal studies

Genetically modified mice in which the catalytic domain of ADAMTS5 was deleted are resistant to cartilage destruction in an experimental model of osteoarthritis.[9] ADAMTS5 is the major aggrecanase in mouse cartilage in a mouse model of inflammatory arthritis.[10]
