anti-GP IIb / IIIa antibody [MWReg30] (FITC)
anti-GP IIb / IIIa antibody [MWReg30] (FITC) for Flow cytometry and Mouse
Overview
| Product Description | FITC-conjugated Rat Monoclonal antibody [MWReg30] recognizes GP IIb / IIIa This antibody recognizes the mouse integrin alpha IIb subunit CD41. CD41 is a ~125kDa single pass type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein expressed by platelets, megakaryocytes (Zhang et al. 2007), mast cells (Berlanga et al. 2005)and hematopoietic progenitors (Mitjavila-Garcia et al. 2002). CD41 forms a heterodimer with CD61. The CD41 / CD61 complex is important for platelet adhesion and aggregation (Patel et al. 2003) acting as a receptor for many extracellular matrix proteins including fibronectin, thrombospondin and vitronectin (Weisel et al. 1992).Rat anti mouse CD41, clone MWReg30 has been reported to inhibit PMA induced aggregation in vitro and to induce hypothermia in vivo (Nieswandt et al. 1999). |

Bioinformation
| Gene Symbol | Itga2b |
|---|---|
| Gene Full Name | integrin alpha 2b |
| Background | ITGA2B encodes integrin alpha chain 2b. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. Alpha chain 2b undergoes post-translational cleavage to yield disulfide-linked light and heavy chains that join with beta 3 to form a fibronectin receptor expressed in platelets that plays a crucial role in coagulation. Mutations that interfere with this role result in thrombasthenia. In addition to adhesion, integrins are known to participate in cell-surface mediated signalling. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
| Function | Integrin alpha-IIb/beta-3 is a receptor for fibronectin, fibrinogen, plasminogen, prothrombin, thrombospondin and vitronectin. It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in a wide array of ligands. It recognizes the sequence H-H-L-G-G-G-A-K-Q-A-G-D-V in fibrinogen gamma chain. Following activation integrin alpha-IIb/beta-3 brings about platelet/platelet interaction through binding of soluble fibrinogen. This step leads to rapid platelet aggregation which physically plugs ruptured endothelial cell surface. [UniProt] |
