Identification of Factor-XIIIa-Reactive Glutaminyl Residues in the Propolypeptide of Bovine von Willebrand Factor

Year: 1995

Type: article

Abstract: von Willebrand factor is a large multimeric plasma protein which plays important roles in platelet aggregation, blood coagulation and probably also in the adhesion of endothelial cells.A 100-kDa propeptide, called the propolypeptide of von Willebrand factor (pp-vWF), is generated during biosynthesis.We found that pp-vWF served as a substrate for transglutaminases including human factor XIIIa and guinea pig liver transglutaminase [Usui, T.
