| Platelet glycoprotein Ib alpha chain (GPIb-alpha), also known as CD42b alpha, is a 145kD platelet type I transmembrane protein. It binds von Willebrand factor (VWF) and thrombin, and is part of the platelet GPIb-IX-V complex, which plays important roles in vascular biology, including hemostasis and thrombosis. GPIb-alpha is also a member of the family of proteins with leucine-rich repeats, which mediate protein-protein interactions. The 610 residue mature human GPIb-alpha contains a 489aa extracellular domain (ECD) (aa17-505) and a 100aa cytoplasmic region (aa527-626). Proteolytic cleavage of the GPIb-alpha ECD from platelet surface releases soluble GPIb-alpha (glycocalicin), which is found in plasma. The ECDs of human, mouse and canine GPIb-Alpha share approximately 50% aa sequence identity. | | | Catalog # | C2395-20 | | Applications | Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Western Blot and ELISA.
