Specificity
Recognizes the murine integrin beta 3 subunit (CD61), a 90kD a type I membrane protein, which is 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. The heterodimers formed with CD61 are receptors for a variety of ligands including fibrinogen, fibronectin, von Willebrand's factor (vWF), vitronectin and thrombospondin. Clone HM beta 3-1 is reported to partially inhibit the binding of CD61 to fibronectin. XXX recommend the use of MCA2299EL for this purpose.
