Anti-Integrin beta-3 (CD61) Antibody, clone HMb3-1

The integrin family of cell adhesion receptors consists of several membrane-associated heterodimers, composed of an alpha and beta subunit that associate in a non-covalent manner. The structure and functional diversity of the integrin family are based upon the pairing abilities of the individual alpha and beta subunits. Key to these molecular interactions between the integrin receptors and their respective ligands is the recognition of the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence, known to be present in the extracellular matrix components fibronectin, vitronectin, collagen, fibrinogen, and von Willebrand factor. The involvement of integrins in vascular proliferation, adhesion, and wound repair has been well documented.

Platelet membrane glycoprotein Integrin beta3 or CD61 (GP IIIa) forms a Ca2+-dependent heterodimer complex with GP IIb. The GP IIb-IIIa complex constitutes the fibrinogen and fibronectin receptor on stimulated platelets.

The antibody recognizes Integrin beta-3.
