GPIIb/IIIa recombinant antibody
Anti-GPIIb/IIIa [10E5]
Human blood platelets.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the integrin alpha chain family of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate light and heavy chains that associate through disulfide linkages to form a subunit of the alpha-IIb/beta-3 integrin cell adhesion receptor. This receptor plays a crucial role in the blood coagulation system, by mediating platelet aggregation. Mutations in this gene are associated with platelet-type bleeding disorders, which are characterized by a failure of platelet aggregation, including Glanzmann thrombasthenia.

Uniprot Description
Integrin alpha-IIb/beta-3 is a receptor for fibronectin, fibrinogen, plasminogen, prothrombin, thrombospondin and vitronectin. It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in a wide array of ligands. It recognizes the sequence H-H-L-G-G-G-A-K-Q-A-G-D-V in fibrinogen gamma chain. Following activation integrin alpha-IIb/beta-3 brings about platelet/platelet interaction through binding of soluble fibrinogen. This step leads to rapid platelet aggregation which physically plugs ruptured endothelial cell surface.

Product Notes
The GPIIb/IIIa itga2b (Catalog #AAA488325) is a Recombinant Antibody and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-GPIIb/IIIa [10E5] reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's GPIIb/IIIa can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF). The antibody binds specifically to human GPIIb/IIIa, and integrin complex of membrane glycoproteins expressed on the surface of platelets. The GPIIb/IIIa complex acts as a receptor for fibrinogen and Von Willebran factor, hemostatic glycoproteins that mediate platelet aggregation and blood coagulation. The monoclonal antibody 10E5 inhibits the binding of fibrinogen to its platelet receptor, preventing the platelet aggregation, to be used during coronary artery surgeries such as angioplasty. The antibody is also useful in the study of the disease Glanzmann's thrombasthenia, caused by defects in GPIIb/IIIa, and of immune thrombocytopenic purpura, where autoantibodies are produced against GPIIb/IIIa. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the GPIIb/IIIa itga2b for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "GPIIb/IIIa, Monoclonal Recombinant Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
