Integrin, beta3 (Platelet Glycoprotein IIIa)

May be stored at 4 °C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Store at -20 °C or colder. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 °C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

Binds to human beta3 integrin subunit present in Platelet glycoprotein GPIIb-IIIa (integrin alphaIIb/ beta3, CD41/CD61) and in the vitronectin receptor (integrin alpha (V) beta (3), CD51/CD61).
