Modulation of neural plasticity by the ADAMTSs (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs)

Aggregating proteoglycans (PG) bearing chondroitin sulfate (CS) side chains are well-known inhibitors of neural plasticity and associate with hyaluronan and tenascin-R to form a complex of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the central nervous system (CNS). Little is known about whether proteolytic cleav...
