GP-Ib, a surface membrane protein of platelets, participates in the formation of platelet plugs by binding to the A1 domain of vWF, which is already bound to the subendothelium.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Human Platelet glycoprotein Ib alpha chain
Heterodimer composed of GP-Ib alpha and beta; disulfide linked. GP-IX is complexed with the GP-Ib heterodimer via a non covalent linkage. Interacts with FLNB.
