function:The GPIb-V-IX complex functions as the vWF receptor and mediates vWF-dependent platelet adhesion to blood vessels. The adhesion of platelets to injured vascular surfaces in the arterial circulation is a critical initiating event in hemostasis.,PTM:The N-terminus is blocked.,similarity:Contains 14 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats.,tissue specificity:Platelets and megakaryocytes.,
Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Platelets and megakaryocytes.
