Macrophage scavenger receptor SR-AI contributes to the clearance of von Willebrand factor [PDF]
Haematologica, 2018 Previously, we found that LDL-receptor related protein-1 on macrophages mediated shear stress-dependent clearance of von Willebrand factor. In control experiments, however, we observed that von Willebrand factor also binds to macrophages independently of

Mechanochemistry of von Willebrand factor [PDF]
Biomolecular Concepts, 2019 Von Willebrand factor (VWF), a blood multimeric protein with a very high molecular weight, plays a crucial role in the primary haemostasis, the physiological process characterized by the adhesion of blood platelets to the injured vessel wall ...

Clinical Medicine, 2020 Editor – Ladikou et al have elegantly shown in their series that levels of factor VIII and von Willebrand factor (VWF) are markedly raised in patients with COVID-19 and that there is a reduced level of ADAMTS13 which may be secondary to depletion of the enzyme through consumption.[1][1 ...

Carbohydrate of the Factor VIII/von Willebrand Factor in von Willebrand's Disease [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1979 We have examined the plasma Factor VIII/von Willebrand factor (FVIII/vWF) molecule from 16 patients with von Willebrand's disease, and have found no evidence of a significant decrease of carbohydrate content in 15 of these patients. FVIII/vWF was isolated by preparative counter immunoelectrophoresis directly from plasma using antibody to Factor VIII ...

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1997 The adhesive protein von Willebrand factor contributes to platelet function by mediating the initiation and progression of thrombus formation at sites of vascular injury. In the last 2 years, there has been considerable progress in explaining the biologic properties of von Willebrand factor.

Increased plasma von Willebrand factor antigen levels but normal von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (ADAMTS13) activity in preeclampsia. [PDF]
, 2009 The activity of ADAMTS13, the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease is low in several conditions, including HELLP (haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count) syndrome.

Temperature-Dependence of Weibel-Palade Body Exocytosis and Cell Surface Dispersal of von Willebrand Factor and Its Propolypeptide [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Weibel-Palade bodies (WPB) are endothelial cell (EC) specific secretory organelles containing Von Willebrand factor (VWF). The temperature-dependence of Ca2+-driven WPB exocytosis is not known, although indirect evidence suggests that WPB ...
