Abstract excerpt
Platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa (alpha IIb beta 3) binds fibrinogen with high affinity. To identify structure responsible for the alpha IIb beta 3 specific fibrinogen binding, chimeric receptors between alpha IIb and alpha v were constructed, expressed on heterologous cells, and their function was analyzed. Chimeric receptors with mutations in calcium binding sequences showed similar ligand specificity as...
