ADAMTS8 (A disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs 8; also METH-2) is a 95 kDa member of an ADAMTS subfamily of Zn metalloproteases that includes ADAMST-1, -4, -5 and -15. It is expressed by chrondrocytes, neurons, astrocytes and macrophages, and likely participates in proteoglycan (aggrecan) proteolysis. Human proADAMTS8 is a secreted, 863 amino acid (aa) glycoprotein. It is highly modular and contains a proregion (aa 27-213), a peptidase M12B domain (aa 219-429), a disintegrin region (aa 438-525), and two TSP type I sequences (aa 526-888) that are separated by an intervening spacer domain (aa 690-831). Cleavage of the proregion generates a mature 80 kDa molecule that may undergo additional processing to create a 65-67 kDa truncated form. There are two potential splice variants. One shows a 31 aa substitution for aa 411-889, while another shows an alternative start site at Met231. Over aa 29-691, human ADAMTS8 shares 79% aa identity with mouse ADAMTS8.

Scientific Data Images for Human ADAMTS8 Antibody
Detection of Human ADAMTS8 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of 293T human embryonic kidney cell line either transfected with human ADAMTS8, mock transfected (-), or transfected with an unrelated vector. PVDF Membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Human ADAMTS8 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF6614) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for ADAMTS8 at approximately 80-85 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 8.
ADAMTS8 in Human Brain.
ADAMTS8 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human brain (cerebellum) using Sheep Anti-Human ADAMTS8 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF6614) at 3 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained using the Anti-Sheep HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS019) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to Purkinje neurons.
