Specificity Comments: Human von Willebrand factor (VWFor factor VIII-related antigen) is a 309 kDa multimeric plasma glycoprotein, 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. Von Willebrand factor 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. Von Willebrand factor is synthesized by endothelial cells and is reported to be expressed in a number of tumors of vascular origin. IHC results aid in the classification of acute myeloid leukemia FAB type M7, angiosarcoma and epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.
Von Willebrand factor (vWf) is a series of self-aggregated structures, all derived from common glycoprotein subunits, synthesized in endothelial cells and megakaryocytes. The molecular mass of the monomeric vWf unit is 225 kDa. vWf binds to circulating factor VIIIc (antihemophilic factor), hereby stabilizing the latter thus being an important factor in the normal primary haemostasis.
