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

Human A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 5 (ADAMTS5) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate ADAMTS5 in samples. An antibody specific for ADAMTS5 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyADAMTS5 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for ADAMTS5 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of ADAMTS5 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
