von Willebrand FactorRole in Primary Hemostasis• Platelet adhesion to collagen at
sites of vascular injury• Platelet aggregation at sites of
vascular injury
Role in Secondary Hemostasis• Binds and stabilizes factor VIII
in plasma• Transports factor VIII to sites of
vascular injury

Definitions
VWF:RCoA property of VWF that supports ristocetin- induced aggregation of normal platelets. Commonly called ristocetin cofactor activity.
VWF Multimer Analysis Multimers of different molecular weights found in plasma by chromatography and electrophoresis.
VWF:AgAn antigenic determinant on the VWF measured by an immunoassay using a heterologous or monoclonal antibody.

von Willebrand Factor Cleaving Proteinase(ADAMTS13)
• Absent in inherited TTP• Inhibited by antibodies in acquired TTP• Recombinant form may be used to treat TTP• Destroys specific VWF mutations causing some forms
of VWD Type 1 and Type 2a• Variant may be a risk factor for myocardial infarction
The von Willebrand Factor Cleaving Proteinase(ADAMTS13)*
Gene location - Chr. 9q34, 29 exons
Synthesis - Stellate Cells in Liver Structure – 1427 aa, Mr 150 KD Half-life 2-4 Days Splits the amino bond between -842 (Tyr) - 843 (Meth)-
Most effective when substrate (VWF) is denatured by shear stress
