Description:
This gene encodes glycoprotein VI, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of type I transmembrane proteins. It is a 58-kDa collagen receptor located in the platelet membrane, usually in a non-covalent association with the FcRγ-chain that carries an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). Damage to the vessel wall exposes subendothelial collagens to platelets in the blood flow, resulting in platelet activation and aggregation, and subsequently thrombus formation. Mutations in this gene are a cause of platelet-type bleeding disorder-11 (BDPLT11). A polymoprhism in this gene presents a risk factor of venous thrombosis in patients with HbH disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
