	Description	ADAMTS5, also known as aggrecanase-2, is a Metallopeptidase M12B type protease that is responsible for degradation of the articular cartilage protein aggrecan. The protein contains a signal sequence, a prodomain with both a potential cysteine switch and a furin cleavage site, a metalloproteinase domain with a conserved zinc-binding motif and a 'met turn,' a disintegrin-like domain, and a spacer region between a thrombospondin type 1 motif and thrombospondin submotif.

	ADAMTS5	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 enzyme. This enzyme contains two C-terminal TS motifs and functions as an aggrecanase that cleaves aggrecan, a major proteoglycan of cartilage, and may mediate cartilage destruction in osteoarthritis.
