Contributor Information

  • Name Richard Aster
  • Institute Versiti Blood Research Institute

Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-Integrin Beta 3a (GPIIIa, CD61)  [AP-5]
  • Alternate names: CD-61
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Molecular weight of the target: ~ 86-87 kDa
  • Application: FACS ; IHC ; WB
  • Description: Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa, also known as integrin aIIb?Ÿ3 is an integrin complex found on platelets. The complex acts as a receptor for both fibrogen and von Willebrand factor and helps in platelet activation. Defects in glycoprotein IIb/IIIa cause Glanzmann's thrombasthenia, which is an abnormality in the platelets, or bleeding disorder.
  • Immunogen: peptide
  • Isotype: IgG1
  • Research area: Immunology

  • For Research Use Only
