The human platelet alloantigens, HPA-5(a+, b-) and HPA-5(a-, b+), are associated with a Glu505/Lys505 polymorphism of glycoprotein Ia (the alpha 2 subunit of VLA-2).

Abstract excerpt
GP Ia/IIa (also called VLA-2 or alpha 2 beta 1) is the primary receptor for collagen on platelets. The human platelet alloantigens HPA-5a(Brb) and HPA-5b(Bra) have been found to reside on the platelet GP Ia/IIa complex. In order to establish the molecular basis of the HPA-5 system, platelet RNA w...
