Original Source: Levels of Von Willebrand Factor Multimers and VWF-Cleaving Protease (ADAMTS-13) in Preterm and Neonate
Von Willebramd Factor (VWF) is an adhesive glycoprotein synthesized by megakaryocytes and endothelial cells.VWF has a central role in primary hemostasis and is a critical ligand for platelets adhesion and aggregation (1, 2).VWF is the carrier of circulating factor 8 as well. VWF is stored in Wiebel-Palade bodies in endothelial cells and in platelets alfa granules in a form of Ultra-large (UL) multimers. The VWF multimers are composed from subunits which are linked by disulfide...

Thrombospondin-1 and ADAMTS13 competitively bind to VWF A2 and A3 domains in vitro.
INTRODUCTION: ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin-like and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 repeat motif. 13) is the major metalloprotease for VWF degradation. ADAMTS13 deficiency causes the accumulatio...
C2362F mutation gives rise to an ADAMTS13-resistant von Willebrand factor.
von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimers result from proteolysis by the metalloprotease ADAMTS13. Since C2362F-VWF features abnormally large multimers with their triplet oligomer structure replaced by a...
