Anti-CD42a/GP9 Antibody Picoband® Cy3 Conjugated

Involved in blood coagulation and megakaryocyte development. Predicted to be part of glycoprotein Ib-IX-V complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; foregut; hemolymphoid system; liver; and male reproductive gland or organ. Human ortholog (s) of this gene implicated in Bernard-Soulier syndrome. Orthologous to human GP9 (glycoprotein IX platelet) .

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of mouse CD42a/GP9. Mouse CD42a/GP9 shares 89.5% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with human CD42a/GP9.
