Model for the intracellular trafficking of FVIII that can result in the formation of aggregates. The FVIII polypeptide chain enters the ER where chaperone proteins facilitate folding and stabilize FVIII. In the setting of increased FVIII expression, FVIII can misfold and form aggregates. The formation of these amyloid-like aggregates may be reversible under specific conditions.
