Open-Conformation ADAMTS13 R1206K as a Next-Generation Therapeutic Candidate for TTP – JTH
Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (JTH) shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Szu-Mam Liu et al. published in JTH, adding:
“ADAMTS-13 R1206K Variant Exhibits an Open Conformation and an Enhanced Proteolytic Activity Toward von Willebrand Factor
The gain-of-function ADAMTS-13 R1206K variant demonstrates enhanced VWF cleavage, reduced autoantibody inhibition, and superior thrombus suppression under flow — offering a promising new therapeutic avenue for TTP.”
