Background:

CD42a is a single-chain membrane glycoprotein that forms a noncovalent complex with CD42b. CD42b, also known as glycoprotein Ib a (GPIb a) is a membrane glycoprotein that is composed of a and b chains. The CD42b b chain is also designated CD42c, and is expressed on platelets and megakaryocytes. CD42a and CD42b are also present on platelets and mega-karyocytes, and the complex is a major component of the platelet surface. The complex acts as a receptor for von Willebrand’s factor and as a von Willebrand’s factor-dependent adhesion receptor.

Specificity:

GP1BA polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of GP1BA protein.
