Anti-CD61 (Integrin beta 3 (Platelet Glycoprotein IIIa, Antigen CD61), Integrin beta-3, ITGB3, Plate

CD61 associates with either the alpha IIb integrin (CD41) or the alpha V integrin (CD51) at the cell surface. CD61 is expressed on platelets and megakaryocytes in association with CD41, and on endothelial cells, monocytes, platelets and osteoclasts in association with CD51. CD61 is a receptor for fibrinogen, fibronectin, vWF, vitronectin and thrombospondin. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, Flow Cytometry and Immunohistochemistry.
