Von Willebrand Factor Antigen
products name syn :
Sheep Antibody to Human Von Willebrand Factor (VWF)
other names :
von Willebrand factor preproprotein; von Willebrand factor; von Willebrand factor; OTTHUMP00000238431; coagulation factor VIII VWF; von Willebrand factor; von Willebrand antigen II
other gene names :
VWF; VWF; VWD; F8VWF; F8VWF
uniprot entry name :
VWF_HUMAN
specificity :
Von Willebrand Factor Antigen. The unconjugated immunoglobulin gives no arcs when tested by IEP against human serum. Identity has been confirmed by double diffusion (Ouchterlony) against human VWF and an anti-human VWF of known specificity.
purity :
Delipidated and, if necessary, absorbed to monospecificity by use of solid-phase absorbants. Following adsorption an immunoglobulin fraction is produced by ion-exchange chromatography and preservatives are added. The immunoglobulin fraction is then conjug
storage stability :
Upon receipt, store at 2 to 8 degree C. Slight precipitation can occur upon storage. This should be removed by centrifugation and should not affect performance characteristics.
app notes :
Evaluated by direct immunofluorescence on frozen sections of human tonsil and a dilution range of 1:50 to 1:100 is recommended for this techniques. Each laboratory should determine an optimum working titer for use in its particular application. Other appl

other info2 :
Buffer: PBS, pH 7.2. Preservative: 0.099% Sodium azide. Important Note: Centrifuge before opening to ensure complete recovery of vial contents. Warnings: This product contains sodium azide, which has been classified as Xn (Harmful), in European Directive 67/548/EEC in the concentration range of 0.1 - 1.0%. When disposing of this reagent through lead or copper plumbing, flush with copious volumes of water to prevent azide build-up in drains.

ncbi 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 Willebrand's disease. An unprocessed pseudogene has been found on chromosome 22. [provided by RefSeq]
uniprot summary :
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 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. Subunit structure: Multimeric. Interacts with F8. Ref.19 Ref.22. Subcellular location: Secreted. Secreted extracellular space extracellular matrix. Note: Localized to storage granules. Ref.19. Tissue specificity: Plasma. Domain: The von Willebrand antigen 2 is required for multimerization of vWF and for its targeting to storage granules. Post-translational modification: All cysteine residues are involved in intrachain or interchain disulfide bonds.N- and O-glycosylated. Ref.21 Ref.23 Ref.25. Involvement in disease: Defects in VWF are the cause of von Willebrand disease type 1 (VWD1) [. MIM:193400]. A common hemorrhagic disorder due to defects in von Willebrand factor protein and resulting in impaired platelet aggregation. Von Willebrand disease type 1 is characterized by partial quantitative deficiency of circulating von Willebrand factor, that is otherwise structurally and functionally normal. Clinical manifestations are mucocutaneous bleeding, such as epistaxis and menorrhagia, and prolonged bleeding after surgery or trauma. Ref.59 Ref.60Defects in VWF are the cause of von Willebrand disease type 2 (VWD2) [. MIM:613554]. A hemorrhagic disorder due to defects in von Willebrand factor protein and resulting in impaired platelet aggregation. Von Willebrand disease type 2 is characterized by qualitative deficiency and functional anomalies of von Willebrand factor. It is divided in different subtypes including 2A, 2B, 2M and 2N (Normandy variant). The mutant VWF protein in types 2A, 2B and 2M are defective in their platelet-dependent function, whereas the mutant protein in type 2N is defective in its ability to bind factor VIII. Clinical manifestations are mucocutaneous bleeding, such as epistaxis and menorrhagia, and prolonged bleeding after surgery or trauma.Defects in VWF are the cause of von Willebrand disease type 3 (VWD3) [. MIM:277480]. A severe hemorrhagic disorder due to a total or near total absence of von Willebrand factor in the plasma and cellular compartments, also leading to a profound deficiency of plasmatic factor VIII. Bleeding usually starts in infancy and can include epistaxis, recurrent mucocutaneous bleeding, excessive bleeding after minor trauma, and hemarthroses. Sequence similarities: 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. Sequence caution: The sequence AAB59512.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Contaminating sequence. Sequence of unknown origin in the N-terminal part.
