Recent studies have demonstrated that galectin-1 (Gal-1) and galectin-3 (Gal-3) can bind von Willebrand factor and directly modulate von Willebrand factor-dependent early thrombus formation in vivo. Because the glycans expressed on human factor VIII (FVIII) are similar to those of von Willebrand factor, we investigated whether galectins might also bind and modulate the activity of FVIII.
