Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a multimeric protein consisting of covalently linked monomers, which share an identical domain architecture. Although involved in processes like inflammation, angiogenesis and cancer metastasis, VWF is mostly known for its role in hemostasis, by acting as a chaperone-protein for coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) and by contributing to the recruitment of platelets during thrombus formation. To serve its role in hemostasis, VWF needs to bind a variety of …
