---|---|
Primary Accession | Q9HCN6 |
Reactivity | Rat, Pig, Bovine |
Host | Rabbit |
Clonality | Polyclonal |
Calculated MW | 35 KDa |
Physical State | Liquid |
Immunogen | KLH conjugated synthetic peptide derived from human GPVI/Glycoprotein VI |
Epitope Specificity | 121-220/339 |
Isotype | IgG |
Purity | affinity purified by Protein A |
Buffer | 0.01M TBS (pH7.4) with 1% BSA, 0.02% Proclin300 and 50% Glycerol. |
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION | Isoform 1: Cell membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Isoform 2: Cell membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. |
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. |
Post-translational modifications | 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). |
DISEASE | Defects in GP6 are the cause of bleeding disorder platelet-type 11 (BDPLT11) [MIM:614201]. BDPLT11 is a mild to moderate bleeding disorder caused by defective platelet activation and aggregation in response to collagen. |
Important Note | This product as supplied is intended for research use only, not for use in human, therapeutic or diagnostic applications. |
Background Descriptions | This gene encodes a platelet membrane glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The encoded protein is a receptor for collagen and plays a critical role in collagen-induced platelet aggregation and thrombus formation. The encoded protein forms a complex with the Fc receptor gamma-chain that initiates the platelet activation signaling cascade upon collagen binding. Mutations in this gene are a cause of platelet-type bleeding disorder-11 (BDPLT11). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

Name | GP6 (HGNC:14388) |
---|---|
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 or LYN) and SYK, the adapter protein LAT and leads to the activation of PLCG2. |
Cellular Location | [Isoform 1]: Cell membrane; Single-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Megakaryocytes and platelets. |
