Integrin beta 3 Antibody / ITGB3 / CD61

CD61 associates with CD51 to form vitronectin receptor, or with CD41 to form the CD41/CD61 complex. The CD41/CD61 complex appears early in megakaryocyte maturation. The activated CD41/CD61 complex is a receptor for von Willebrand factor, soluble fibrinogen, fibronectin, vitronectin and thrombospondin. It plays a central role in platelet activation and aggregation. The CD51/CD61 complex is implicated in tumor metastasis and adenoviral infection.
