Both the integrity of the vessel wall and its capacity to prevent serious bleeding on injury are governed by the adhesive proteins present in it. One of the most interesting of these proteins is von Willebrand factor (vWF), not in the least because so much has been learned about its structure and function in recent years. vWF is exceptional among the adhesive proteins in that it is synthesized in only the megakaryocytes and the endothelial cells, present in plasma, platelets, as well as in the vessel wall, and possesses only a limited spectrum of adhesiveness, that is, toward platelets. In this review article we shall discuss the synthesis of vWF by endothelial cells and the way in which vWF is secreted, together with some recent data on how this synthesis and secretion are regulated. We shall then pay attention to the nature and quantity of vWF in the subendothelium. The function of vWF is considered, particularly the adhesion of blood platelets to the vessel wall. We will see that vWF in the vessel wall is by itself insufficient for optimal platelet adhesion. Plasma vWF is also required, but this binds first to the vessel wall and then changes in conformation in order to enable the platelet to interact with it. For the understanding of how vWF is incorporated into the vessel wall matrix both after synthesis by endothelial cells and followed by secretion toward the matrix, and when the subendothelium is exposed to plasma vWF, it is important to know how vWF binds to various substances that are present in the vessel wall. Monoclonal antibodies to vWF have been very helpful in identifying specific binding of vWF and in recognizing binding regions on the vWF molecule. Structure-function relationship studies on vWF have recently become possible with the advent of specific monoclonal antibodies (Mabs), the use of proteolytic digestion, and amino acid sequencing to identify specific domains. The use of molecular cloning in combination with preparation of peptides mimicking specified functions will soon bring these insights down to the level of a few amino acid residues.
