Abstract excerpt
The primary sequences of the three individual glycoprotein (GP) chains, GPIb alpha, GPIb beta, and GPIX, comprising the normal platelet GPIb/IX receptor for von Willebrand factor (vWF) have recently been determined, opening the possibility for characterization of disorders of this receptor at the molecular level. The presence of a leucine tandem repeat in each of these chains is of particular interest, because...
