| Background Information | CD41 is the α-subunit of the CD41/CD61 complex (GPIIb-IIIa), a calcium-dependent, non-covalently associated heterodimer. CD41 is a 135 kDa molecule, consisting of 2 peptides: a 120 kDa α chain and a 23 kDa β chain. The α chain and the β chain are linked by a single disulphide bond. The α chain contains four calcium-binding sites and is entirely extracellular, while the β-chain has extracellular, transmembrane, and cytoplasmic domains (Sun, 1997). The CD41/CD61 complex appears early in megakaryocyte maturation (Vinci, 1984). Anti-CD41, 5B12, was included in the Fifth International Workshop and Conference on Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens and studies by a number of laboratories confirmed its reactivity with CD41 (Honda, 1995). |

| Entrez Gene Number |
|
| Entrez Gene Summary | 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. |
| Purification Method | Protein A Purfied |
| UniProt Number |
|
| UniProt Summary | 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. |
