The Superfamily with von Willebrand Factor VA Domains (Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit)

This book presents a systematic overview of all the molecules bearing the vWFA module and offers potential readers examples (vWF and the a chains of b1 and b2 integrins) in which a great deal of investigation has been made lately. The superfamily of proteins containing vWFA domains typical of von Willebrand factor includes proteins with very diverse ligand binding functions that have been largely referred to the presence of this domain. This is the first comprehensive monograph written on this subject.
