Biolegend, 104304, Biotin anti-mouse/rat CD61 Antibody, 500μg

CD61 is a 110 kD integrin β chain also known as β 3 integrin or gpIIIa. It associates with the integrin α v chain (CD51) to form the vitronectin receptor. In addition, CD61 can associate with the integrin α IIb chain (CD41) to form the gpIIb/IIIa complex. CD61 is expressed on platelets, megakaryocytes, endothelium, smooth muscle, a subset of B cells, myeloid cells, osteoclasts, and mast cells. CD61, in conjunction with CD41 or CD51, mediates adhesion to fibronectin, fibrinogen, vitronectin, thrombospondin, and von Willebrand factor. Leukocyte-endothelial adhesion is mediated by the binding of α v /β 3 integrin or vitronectin receptor to CD31 (PECAM-1).
