The GPIb-beta ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of GPIb-beta in various samples. GPIb-beta is another term for the GP1BB gene, which encodes the protein, glycoprotein Ib platelet subunit beta in humans. It has been reported that GPIb-beta plays a role in cell adhesion and receptor-mediated signaling pathways, among other functions. Structurally, the GP1BB protein is 206 amino acid residues in length and 21.7 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the membrane of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be expressed in heart and brain. This protein is known to be glycosylated. Other names for this target antigen include BDPLT1, BS, and CD42C. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
