Abstract excerpt
We have examined the effect of the O-linked glycan (OLG) structures of VWF on its interaction with the platelet receptor glycoprotein Ibα. The 10 OLGs were mutated individually and as clusters (Clus) on either and both sides of the A1 domain: Clus1 (N-terminal side), Clus2 (C-terminal side), and double cluster (DC), in both full-length-VWF and in a VWF construct spanning D' to A3 domains. Mutations did not alter...
