GPVI Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His)

GPVI Protein is a platelet membrane protein with a molecular weight of ~62 kDa that is a physiological collagen receptor. GPVI is present as a complex with the homodimeric Fc receptor y-chain. GPVI must form such a dimeric complex to exhibit high affinity binding to collagen. The GPVI-induced activation mechanism is initiated by tyrosine phosphorylation of the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) of the FcR gamma-chain, and then this signal is transduced to many related proteins, mainly by tyrosine phosphorylation. Interaction of platelets with collagen via the receptor GPVI results in platelet activation and adhesion^[1][2][3]. GPVI Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived GPVI protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.

Interaction of platelets with collagen via the receptor GPVI results in platelet activation and adhesion--the processes that are essential for thrombus formation. On the platelet surface, GPVI is present as a complex with the homodimeric Fc receptor y-chain (FcRgamma with a possible stoichiometry of two GPVI molecules and one FcRgamma dimer). When collagen binds to GPVI, a platelet activation cascade is initiated by tyrosine phosphorylation of the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif of FcRgamma and this phosphorylation induces the formation of a large complex composed from many signal-transducing proteins. GPVI inhibitor would be able to inhibit thrombus formation but still not cause a significant bleeding tendency^[1].
both collagen and GPVI are insoluble molecules. The extracellular domain of GPVI is soluble forms as follows: the monomeric form (GPVIex) and the dimeric form of GPVI fused with the human immunoglobulin Fc domain (GPVI-Fc2). Purified GPVIex strongly inhibited convulxin (Cvx)-induced platelet aggregation but only weakly inhibited that induced by collagen-related peptide. However, only GPVI-Fc2, and not GPVIex, inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation^[3].

Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Lyophilized powder.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
