Abstract excerpt
Glycoprotein (GP) VI, a key receptor for collagen-induced platelet activation, recently emerged as a major target for developing new antithrombotics. However, little is known about its functional domains, which is a disadvantage for the rational development of antagonists. Our aim was to identify the structures determining GPVI specificity. GPVI presents homologies with members of the Ig superfamily (in...
