The organizing principle of the platelet glycoprotein Ib-IX-V complex.

Abstract excerpt

The glycoprotein (GP)Ib-IX-V complex is the platelet receptor for von Willebrand factor and many other molecules that are critically involved in hemostasis and thrombosis. The lack of functional GPIb-IX-V complexes on the platelet surface is the cause of Bernard-Soulier syndrome, a rare hereditary bleeding disorder that is also associated with macrothrombocytopenia. GPIb-IX-V contains GPIbα, GPIbβ, GPIX and GPV...
