Details
Function: Important in the maintenance of hemostasis, it promotes adhesion of platelets to the sites of vascular injury by forming a molecular bridge between sub-endothelial collagen matrix and platelet-surface receptor complex GPIb-IX-V. Also acts as a chaperone for coagulation factor VIII, delivering it to the site of injury, stabilizing its heterodimeric structure and protecting it from premature clearance from plasma (By similarity).

Post-translational modification: N- and O-glycosylated (By similarity).

Similarity: Contains at least 2 VWFA domains.

Subcellular location: Secreted (By similarity). Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix (By similarity). Note=Localized to storage granules (By similarity).

Subunit structure: Multimeric. Interacts with F8 (By similarity).

Tissue specificity: Plasma.

Sequence length: 430 AA.
