CD42b/GPIb alpha: ELISA Kits

Platelet glycoprotein Ib alpha chain (GPIb alpha), also known as CD42b alpha, is a 145 kDa type I transmembrane protein that is a member of the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) family of ligand binding proteins. It is expressed by platelets as the ligand-binding subunit of the platelet GPIb-IX-V complex. Human GPIb alpha contains a 16 amino acid (aa) signal sequence, a 489 aa extracellular domain (ECD), a 21-aa transmembrane domain, and a 100 aa cytoplasmic region. The ECD contains 8 LRRs, with ...
