Product details:
Human GPVI SimpleStep ELISA® kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of GPVI protein in Serum, EDTA Plasma, Cit Plasma, Hep Plasma.Quantitate Human GPVI with 1.711 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

GPVI or glycoprotein VI functions mechanically as a collagen receptor on the surface of platelets. With a molecular mass around 62 kDa it is expressed mainly on megakaryocytes and platelets. GPVI plays an important role in platelet adhesion and activation by binding to collagen exposed at sites of vascular injury. This interaction initiates a cascade of platelet activation essential for normal hemostasis.
Biological function summary
The target participates in the formation of platelet activation complexes. GPVI partners with the Fc receptor γ-chain to transmit activation signals upon collagen binding. This process results in platelet shape change granule secretion and aggregation which are all critical steps for clot formation. By interacting with collagen GPVI ensures that platelets can effectively respond to vascular damage particularly in arterial vessels where high shear forces prevail.
Pathways
The glycoprotein VI contributes significantly to the immune and coagulation pathways. It activates the enzyme Syk kinase following collagen binding which further triggers the downstream signaling pathways like the MAPK pathway leading to platelet activation. GPVI works closely with other receptors like integrin α2β1 and the glycoprotein Ib/V/IX complex reinforcing platelet-collagen interactions and stabilizing the platelet plug formation during thrombus growth.
Glycoprotein VI shows relevance in cardiovascular diseases and immune thrombocytopenia. Abnormal GPVI function or expression can exacerbate conditions such as myocardial infarction by promoting excessive platelet activation and thrombosis. Conversely reduced GPVI levels relate to bleeding disorders due to impaired platelet function. Studies have also linked GPVI to autoimmune conditions where antibodies may target it similar to responses in immune thrombocytopenia.
