[a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif-8; ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 8] This protein is a member of the ADAM protein family (see: ADAMTS protein family). It has been identified originally as a cDNA found in heart and lung tissues. Expression is highest in adult and fetal lung. Vázquez et al (1999) refer to the protein as METH-2 (an acronym reflecting the novel combination of metalloprotease domains and thrombospondin domains).
ADAMTS8 has been shown to disrupt angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro. This activity is higher than that of Thrombospondin-1 or endostatin
