Anti-GPIb-beta antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the GPIb-beta antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the GP1BB gene, which encodes glycoprotein Ib platelet subunit beta. This protein is known to function in cell adhesion and receptor-mediated signaling pathways, among other biological roles. The human version of GPIb-beta has a canonical amino acid length of 206 residues and a protein mass of 21.7 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the membrane of cells. Other names for this target antigen include BDPLT1, BS, and CD42C. Indicated applications for GPIb-beta antibodies listed below include Flow Cytometry, Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry, and Immunoprecipitation.
