GPVI, Mouse (HEK293, His)

GPVI Protein is a platelet membrane protein with a molecular weight of ~62 kDa that is a physiological collagen receptor. GPVI is present as a complex with the homodimeric Fc receptor y-chain. GPVI must form such a dimeric complex to exhibit high affinity binding to collagen. The GPVI-induced activation mechanism is initiated by tyrosine phosphorylation of the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) of the FcR gamma-chain, and then this signal is transduced to many related proteins, mainly by tyrosine phosphorylation. Interaction of platelets with collagen via the receptor GPVI results in platelet activation and adhesion[1][2][3]. GPVI Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived GPVI protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.
