General Notes
Mouse anti Human CD61 antibody, clone Y2/51 recognizes CD61, a ~105 kDa glycoprotein, also known as integrin beta 3 chain. This molecule 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.
