Objective:
The characteristic multimeric pattern of plasmatic VWF results from asymmetric cleavage by ADAMTS13. Regulation of VWF multimer distribution is critical for its physiological function. In human plasma, VWF multimer gels reveal species of various multimeric sizes with flanking satellite bands (triplets). The faster and slower migrating bands encompassing a VWF multimer lack one N-terminal fragment or possess an additional N-terminal fragment, r… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
