This antibody recognizes the murine integrin beta 3 subunit (CD61), approximately a 90 kDa a type I membrane protein, expressed primarily on megakaryocytes, platelets, monocytes, macrophages, granulocytes and endothelial cells. CD61 associates with either the alpha IIb integrin (CD41) or the alpha V integrin (CD51) to form the platelet glycoprotein complex IIb/IIIa and the vitronectin receptor (VNR) respectively.
CD61 (GPIIIa, ITGB3) is a glycoprotein found on megakaryocytes, platelets and their precursors. CD61 antigen plays a role in platelet aggregation and also as a receptor for fibrinogen, fibronectin, von Willebrand factor and vitronectrin. CD61 is a 105 kDa glycoprotein that associates with either the alpha 11b integrin (CD41) or the alpha V integrin (CD51) at the cell surface. CD61 is expressed on platelets and megakaryocytes in association with CD41, and on endothelial cells, monocytes, platelets and osteoclasts in association with CD51. CD61 is a receptor for fibrinogen, fibronectin, Von Willebrand Factor, vitronectin and thrombospondin. The CD61 protein product is composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. A given chain may combine with multiple partners resulting in different integrins. CD61 is found along with the alpha IIb chain in platelets. Like other integrins, CD61 is known to participate in cell adhesion as well as cell-surface mediated signaling. Diseases associated with CD61 dysfunction include Glanzmann Thrombasthenia and Platelet type-16 Bleeding Disorder.
