Integrin beta 3 Antibody

ITGB3 (Integrin beta 3), also called GP3A, GPIIIa, CD61, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITGB3 gene. It is a cluster of differentiation found on thrombocytes. The ITGB3 complex belongs to the integrin class of cell adhesion molecule receptors that share a common heterodimeric structure with alpha and beta subunits. The ITGB3 complex mediates platelet aggregation by acting as a receptor for fibrinogen. Although the protein is expressed on the cell surface at normal levels and is capable of function following extracellular stimulation, it could not be activated via the inside-out signaling pathways.
