Plasma levels of von Willebrand factor regulate ADAMTS‐13, its major cleaving protease

Summary ADAMTS‐13, the metalloprotease that disposes physiologically of the most thrombogenic multimers of von Willebrand factor (VWF), tends to be low in plasma when VWF is high. We evaluated the behaviour of these two proteins in naturally occurring, experimental and clinical situations associated...
