关于 Vwf

功能概要

Predicted to enable several functions, including chaperone binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and Integrin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including liver regeneration; platelet activation; and response to L-ascorbic acid. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix; endoplasmic reticulum; and extracellular space. Used to study transient cerebral ischemia. Biomarker of hypertension; mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis; myocardial infarction; pulmonary fibrosis; and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Behcet's disease; Bernard-Soulier syndrome; end stage renal disease; essential thrombocythemia; and von Willebrand's disease (multiple). Orthologous to human VWF (von Willebrand factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
