Regulation of von Willebrand factor-platelet interactions.
The formation of thrombi is a multistep process involving several components, including von Willebrand factor (VWF). VWF is an adhesive multimeric protein, which acts as a molecular bridge between the subendothelial matrix and the glycoprotein Ib/IX/V receptor complex. Furthermore, VWF promotes the expansion of the platelet plug by cross-linking platelets via binding to integrin alphaIIbbeta3. ...
متن کاملRegulation of plasma von Willebrand factor
Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a multimeric plasma glycoprotein that plays a central role in the initiation of blood coagulation. Through interactions between its specific functional domains, the vascular wall, coagulation factor VIII, and platelet receptors, VWF maintains hemostasis by binding to platelets and delivering factor VIII to the sites of vascular injury. In the healthy human populat...
متن کاملVon Willebrand factor in the vessel wall mediates platelet adherence.
A monoclonal antibody directed against the von Willebrand factor moiety (vWF) of factor VIII-von Willebrand factor (FVIII-vWF), which blocks ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation as well as the binding of FVIII-vWF to platelets in the presence of ristocetin, inhibited platelet adherence to human artery subendothelium when present in normal flowing blood. This monoclonal antibody, CLB-RAg 35, ...
متن کاملPlatelet and von Willebrand factor interactions at the vessel wall.
The process of platelet thrombus formation contributes to the haemostatic response that prevents excessive blood loss after tissue injury, but may become a life-threatening disease mechanism by causing the acute thrombotic occlusion of atherosclerotic arteries. The participation of platelets in the formation of thrombi is centered on their adhesive properties and the ability to respond to stimu...
متن کاملDistribution of von Willebrand factor in porcine intima varies with blood vessel type and location.
The von Willebrand factor (vWF) has been generally accepted as a marker for endothelial cells. In a systematic immunolocalization study of porcine blood vessels that used indirect immunofluorescence with a monospecific polyclonal anti-vWF and two monoclonal anti-vWFs, we observed that vWF is not universally distributed in intact, fresh endothelia. vWF is consistently localized in veins, with th...
