Vwf Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable several functions, including identical protein binding activity; integrin binding activity; and protein-folding chaperone binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including activation of blood coagulation via clotting cascade; liver development; and platelet activation. Located in Weibel-Palade body; external side of plasma membrane; and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; immune system; and pancreas vasculature. Used to study von Willebrand's disease and von Willebrand's disease 2. 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 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Vwf often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
