NCIt related terms : Platelet GPIb/Ix; PLATELET GLYCOPROTEIN IB/IX;
NCIt definition : A heterotetrameric, transmembrane protein complex consisting of three subunits, platelet
glycoprotein (GP) 1b alpha (GPIba), GP 1b beta (GPIbb), and GPIX, which are organized
in the platelet membrane in a ratio of 1:2:1. The two GPIbb subunits form disulfide
bonds with GPIba and are non-covalently linked to GPIX. This complex is involved in
platelet biogenesis, thrombin-mediated platelet aggregation, vonWillebrand factor-mediated
platelet adhesion, mechanotransduction, platelet activation and blood clot formation.
Antibodies targeting this complex are associated with autoimmune thrombocytopenic
purpura.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: A glycoprotein complex and platelet surface receptor composed of the transmembrane
GPIb and GPIX subunits. It mediates platelet adhesion, activation, clearance, and
thrombopoiesis. This complex can be considered as an autoantigen and is commonly associated
with autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura.;
