Glycoprotein VI (GPVI) mediates platelet activation on exposed subendothelial collagens at sites of vascular injury and thereby contributes to normal hemostasis, but also to the occlusion of diseased vessels in the setting of myocardial infarction or stroke. GPVI is an attractive target for antithrombotic therapy, particularly because previous studies have shown that anti-GPVI antibodies induce irreversible...
