* '''Primary haemostasis''' : Afer a damaged of blood vessels, platelets will adhere to subendothelium which is a thrombogenic surface thanks to vWF. The platelet plug is formed thaks to the platelets aggregation. Domain A1 of vWF links to the receptor Gp-1b-IX-V, which is found on platelet. | * '''Primary haemostasis''' : Afer a damaged of blood vessels, platelets will adhere to subendothelium which is a thrombogenic surface thanks to vWF.

*''' Coagulation''' = Secondary Haemostasis : The goal of this step is to create a thrombus. Numerous coagulated factors are involved during this process. The plasma procoagulant co-enzyme Factor VIII plays a central role in the coagulation : catalyses activation of factor X and stabilizes the thrombus which stop the bleeding. vWF acts as a carrier for this factor. The factor VIII is bound to two domains : D'/D3. Without vWF the factor VIII will be cleaved by serin proteases. | *''' Coagulation''' = Secondary Haemostasis : The goal of this step is to create a thrombus.

* Interaction with '''[[Collagen]]''' : On the one hand the A1 and A3 domains of vWF link to the collagen of the subepithelium and on the other hand it binds to the platelets thanks to Gp Ib receptor. | * Interaction with '''[[Collagen]]''' : On the one hand the A1 and A3 domains of vWF link to the collagen of the subepithelium and on the other hand it binds to the platelets thanks to Gp Ib receptor. The collagen have some residues positively charged. However some residues of the A3 domain of the vWF are negatively charged. Some studies suggests that the interaction between collagen and the A3 domains is possible thanks to these charges<ref>Huizinga et el. (1997)Crystal structure of the A3 domain of human von Willebrand factor: implications for collagen binding, http://www.cell.com/structure/fulltext/S0969-2126(97)00266-9.</ref>. | ||
* Interaction with receptor of '''platelet integrins αIIb/β3 ''' by the C1 domain which contains the RGD pattern : Arg-Gly-Asp | * Interaction with receptor of '''platelet integrins αIIb/β3 ''' by the C1 domain which contains the RGD pattern : Arg-Gly-Asp | ||

In the directly way, the von willebrand disease is caused by a mutation or by hereditary transmission. They are due to an anomaly qualitative or quantitative of the factor. There is 3 types of von Willebrand diseases : in the type I and II, the hereditary transmission is involved (there is 50% chance that the child got the defect gene). But in type III, the child receives the defect gene of the both parents. It is necessary to determine which type a patient has in order to give them the right treatment. | In the directly way, the von willebrand disease is caused by a mutation or by hereditary transmission.

It has a dinucleotide-binding fold. This is a structure in which a central β sheet is encompassed by 7 α-helix (named α1 to α7) connected by loops. The β sheet is composed by 6 strands (named respectively β1 to β6) and are all parallel except the β3 which is on the sheet’s edge. | It has <scene name='75/750301/Secondary_structure/1'> a dinucleotide-binding fold </scene>.
