Anti-GP6 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein glycoprotein VI platelet. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 339 amino acid residues and a mass of 36.9 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. Up to 3 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in the bone marrow and testis. GP6 is known to be a collagen receptor involved in collagen-induced platelet adhesion and activation. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. The GP6 gene has been associated with the disease, Bleeding disorder. Synonyms for this target antigen include GPIV, GPVI, platelet glycoprotein VI, glycoprotein 6, platelet collagen receptor, and BDPLT11. GP6 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. A number of GP6 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
