Sialylation on O-linked glycans protects von Willebrand factor from macrophage galactose lectin-mediated clearance

Terminal sialylation determines the plasma half-life of von Willebrand factor (VWF). A role for macrophage galactose lectin (MGL) in regulating hyposialylated VWF clearance has recently been proposed. In this study, we showed that MGL influences physiological plasma VWF clearance. MGL inhibition wa...
