| Tissue Specificity | Plasma. |
| Post Translational Modification | All cysteine residues are involved in intrachain or interchain disulfide bonds.; N- and O-glycosylated. |
| 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. |
