Function: Integrin alpha-IIb/beta-3 is a receptor for fibronectin, fibrinogen, plasminogen, prothrombin, thrombospondin and vitronectin. It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in a wide array of ligands. It recognizes the sequence H-H-L-G-G-G-A-K-Q-A-G-D-V in fibrinogen gamma chain. Following activation integrin alpha- IIb/beta-3 brings about platelet/platelet interaction through binding of soluble fibrinogen. This step leads to rapid platelet aggregation which physically plugs ruptured endothelial cell surface.
Disease:
Cellular location: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: Isoform 1 and isoform 2 were identified in platelets and megakaryocytes, but not in reticulocytes or in Jurkat and U-937 white blood cell line. Isoform 3 is expressed by leukemia, prostate adenocarcinoma and melanoma cells but not by platelets or normal prostate or breast epithelial cells.

Genetic variants

Position 874 is associated with platelet-specific alloantigen HPA-3/BAK/LEK. HPA-3A/BAK(A)/LEK(A) has Ile-874 and HPA-3B/BAK(B)/LEK(B) has Ser-874. HPA-3B is involved in neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT or NATP).
