ADAMTS13 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human ADAMTS13 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 9q34 and is approximately 45 kb in length. This allele, which encodes a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 13 protein, is involved in the processing of von Willebrand factor multimers. Mutation of the gene is associated with congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
