ADAMTS13 protein variants and uses thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to ADAMTS13 protein variants comprising residues 1 to 685 of ADAMTS13 and wherein one or more N-linked glycosylation sites are added as compared to wild-type ADAMTS13 and/or one or more existing N-linked glycosylation sites are shifted as compared to wild-type ADAMTS13. The invention further relates to compositions comprising such ADAMTS13 variants, methods for their preparation and uses thereof, in particular as an antithrombotic agent, and in the treatment of thrombotic disease, thrombotic microangiopathy, thrombotic thrombocytopeniaurpura (TTP), hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS), ischemic stroke, systemic thrombosis, COVID19, antiphospholipid syndrome, pre-eclampsia/HELLP syndrome, sepsis and sickle cell disease.
