GPVI Polyclonal Antibody

disease:Patients deficient in GPVI suffer from mild hemorrhagic diathesis and their platelets fail to aggregate in response to collagen.,function:Collagen receptor involved in collagen-induced platelet adhesion and activation. Plays a key role in platelet procoagulant activity and subsequent thrombin and fibrin formation. This procoagulant function may contribute to arterial and venous thrombus formation. The signaling pathway involves the FcR gamma-chain, the Src kinases (likely Fyn/Lyn), the adapter protein LAT and leads to the activation of phospholipase C gamma2.,PTM:N-linked glycosylation at Asn-92 is not required for the cell surface expression, but contributes to maximal adhesion to type I collagen, collagen-related peptide (CRP), and, to a lesser extent, to the snake venom C-type lectin convulxin (CVX).,similarity:Contains 2 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.,subunit:Associated with Fc receptor gamma chain. The GPVI-FcRgamma complex is associated with the Src kinase family Fyn and Lyn.,tissue specificity:Megakaryocytes and platelets.,
