1 | BACKGROUND: von Willebrand factor (VWF) contains free thiols that mass spectroscopy has located to nine cysteines: two in the D3 domain (Cys889 and Cys898) and seven in the C domains (Cys2448, Cys2451, Cys2453, Cys2490, Cys2491, Cys2528, and Cys2533) (J Biol Chem, 7, 2007, 35604; Blood, 118, 5312). | Sulfhydryl Compounds | von Willebrand factor | Homo sapiens |

3 | It has been suggested that these free thiols function to regulate the self-association of VWF through thiol-disulfide exchange (J Biol Chem, 7, 2007, 35604; Blood, 118, 5312). | Sulfhydryl Compounds | von Willebrand factor | Homo sapiens |

5 | CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest: first, that pairing of cysteines implicated in free thiol exchange is essential for correct folding of the VWF molecule, and unpairing must occur following exit from the ER or secretion from the cell; and second, that intact C domains are essential for efficient VWF secretion and must interact in the ER. | Sulfhydryl Compounds | von Willebrand factor | Homo sapiens |
