(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7450
Official gene symbolVWF
Full namevon Willebrand factor
Aliases,F8VWF,VWD,
Gene summaryThe glycoprotein encoded by this gene functions as both an antihemophilic factor carrier and a platelet-vessel wall mediator in the blood coagulation system. It is crucial to the hemostasis process. Mutations in this gene or deficiencies in this protein result in von Willebrand's disease. An unprocessed pseudogene has been found on chromosome 22.
