Abstract

ABSTRACT: The von Willebrand factor A‐domain‐related protein (WARP) encoded by the VWA1 gene, is an orphan extracellular matrix protein that is expressed in a subset of ECM structures but whose function is poorly understood. Here, recent advances on understanding VWA1/WARP will be reviewed including analysis of VWA1 reporter and global knock‐out mice, interaction studies, and recent transcriptome analyses.
