1 Two apparently distinct mechanisms have now been identified for enhancing 125I-vWF interaction with stimulated platelets: one is induced by ristocetin and apparently mediated by platelet membrane glycoprotein Ib (GPIb); a second mechanism has been identified more recently and is induced by the physiological stimuli ADP and thrombin. Adenosine Diphosphate von Willebrand factor Homo sapiens
2 As ADP and thrombin are released at sites of platelet accumulation, it is possible that these agonists regulate the vWF-platelet interactions in vivo. Adenosine Diphosphate von Willebrand factor Homo sapiens
3 Thus, in addition to its role in coagulation and platelet aggregation, fibrinogen influences the binding of vWF to thrombin- and ADP-stimulated platelets. Adenosine Diphosphate von Willebrand factor Homo sapiens
