Specificity
Recognizes the murine integrin beta 3 subunit (CD61), a 90kD 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.
