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. |
Cellular Location | Secreted. Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix. Note=Localized to storage granules |
Tissue Location | Plasma. |
