Background:  ADAMTS-2 cleaves the propeptides of Collagen Type I and II, but not Collagen Type III, prior to fibril assembly. It may also play a role in development aside from collagen biosynthesis. ADAMTS-2 is secreted and associated with the extracellular matrix, with the highest levels in skin, bone, tendon and aorta. May also play a role in development that is independent of its role in collagen biosynthesis. Defects in ADAMTS2 are the cause of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VIIC (EDS VIIC), a recessively inherited connective-tissue disorder characterized clinically by severe skin fragility and joint hypermobility.
