Millipore This Anti-Von Willebrand Factor Antibody Is Validated For Use In Elisa, Immunohistochemistry (Ihc) For The Detection Of Von Willebrand Factor. - Mill (Additional S&H or Hazmat Fees May Apply)
von Willebrand Factor (vWF) is synthesized by endothelial cells, causing adhesion of platelets to injured vessel walls and functions as a carrier and stabilizer for coagulation of Factor VIII. It is one of the most widely used endothelial cell markers for studying angiogenesis / neovascularization. Millipores von Willebrand Factor antibody reacts specifically with the endothelial cells of blood vessels and is a useful marker for the identification of endothelial lineage in tumors.

Entrez Gene Number
NM_000552.3
Entrez Gene Summary
The glycoprotein encoded by this gene functions as both an antihemophilic factor carrier and a platelet-vessel wall mediator in the blood coagulation system. It is crucial to the hemostasis process. Mutations in this gene or deficiencies in this protein result in von Willebrands disease. An unprocessed pseudogene has been found on chromosome 22.

UniProt Summary
FUNCTION: SwissProt: P04275 # 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. SIZE: 2813 amino acids; 309299 Da SUBUNIT: Multimeric. Interacts with F8. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted. Note=Localized to storage granules. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Plasma. DOMAIN: SwissProt: P04275 The von Willebrand antigen 2 is required for multimerization of VWF and for its targeting to storage granules. PTM: All cysteine residues are involved in intrachain or interchain disulfide bonds. DISEASE: SwissProt: P04275 # Defects in VWF are associated with various forms of von Willebrand disease (VWD) [MIM:193400, 277480]. VWD is characterized by frequent bleeding (gingival, minor skin quantitative lacerations, menorrhagia, etc.). Type I VWD is associated with a deficiency of VWF; type II by normal to decreased plasma level of VWF; type III by a virtual absence of VWF. There are subtypes (A to H) of type II VWD; for example: type IIA is characterized by the absence of VWF high molecular weight multimers in plasma. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 CTCK (C-terminal cystine knot-like) domain. & Contains 4 TIL (trypsin inhibitory-like) domains. & Contains 3 VWFA domains. & Contains 3 VWFC domains. & Contains 4 VWFD domains.
