This integrin with a mass around 210 kDa functions as a receptor for fibrinogen and other adhesive proteins. Expression of integrin alpha 2b beta 3 is found mainly in platelets and megakaryocytes. The integrin protein's alpha 2b subunit contributes to its specificity and is involved in binding to the ligand while the beta 3 subunit influences activation and signal transduction.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nIntegrin alpha 2b beta 3 plays a major role in hemostasis by mediating platelet cohesion and clot formation at sites of vascular injury. This integrin is an important part of the platelet glycoprotein complex that forms a bridge to link platelets through fibrinogen. Through its function integrin alpha 2b beta 3 is responsible for ensuring the stability of clots in blood vessels preventing loss of blood. It also interacts with various signaling molecules inside platelets facilitating processes like shape change and granule secretion.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nIntegrin alpha 2b beta 3 involvement in hemostatic pathways reveals its importance in thrombocytopenic mechanisms. Inside the platelet signaling pathways such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and Src family kinases become activated upon ligand binding to this integrin. These pathways involve other proteins like talin and kindlin which play roles in integrin inside-out activation. Additionally crosstalk with other integrins reinforces platelet adhesion and spreading.\u003cbr\u003e\nIntegrin alpha 2b beta 3 associations with thrombotic disorders highlight its clinical significance. Its dysregulation can lead to conditions such as myocardial infarction and stroke where excessive platelet aggregation causes vascular blockages. The integrin also connects to disorders like Glanzmann's thrombasthenia a condition resulting from mutations in the integrin alpha 2b or beta 3 subunits leading to impaired clot formation. The integrin protein's interaction with fibrinogen and von Willebrand factor further emphasizes its impact on thrombotic diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854510772393,"sku":"ab11027","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab11027","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
