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, glycoprotein Ibalpha/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: All cysteine residues are involved in intrachain or interchain disulfide bonds (By similarity). N- and O-glycosylated (By similarity).

Similarity: Contains 1 CTCK (C-terminal cystine knot-like) domain. Contains 1 pacifastin repeat. Contains 3 TIL (trypsin inhibitory-like) domains. Contains 3 VWFA domains. Contains 3 VWFC domains. Contains 3 VWFD 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: 427 AA.
