Processing of fibrillar collagens is required to generate collagen monomers able to self-
assemble into elongated and cylindrical collagen fibrils. ADAMTS-2 belongs to the" A
disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motifs"(ADAMTS) family. It is
responsible for most of the processing of the aminopropeptide of type I procollagen in the
skin, and it also cleaves type II and type III procollagens. ADAMTS are complex secreted
enzymes that are implicated in various physiological and pathological processes. Despite …
