vWA_interalpha trypsin inhibitor (ITI): ITI is a glycoprotein composed of three polypeptides- two heavy chains and one light chain (bikunin). Bikunin confers the protease-inhibitor function while the heavy chains are involved in rendering stability to the extracellular matrix by binding to hyaluronic acid. The heavy chains carry the VWA domain with a conserved MIDAS motif. Although the exact role of the VWA domains remains unknown, it has been speculated to be involved in mediating protein-protein interactions with the components of the extracellular matrix.
