The von Willebrand Factor (VWF) plays an important role in stopping the flow of blood, haemostasis. The VWF interacts with functional domains, the vascular wall, coagulation factor VIII, and platelet receptors. When there is a location of vascular injury, the VWF binds to platelets and delivers the coagulation factor VIII to that location of the injury. | The von Willebrand Factor (VWF) plays an important role in stopping the flow of blood, haemostasis.
