GP9 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single,
non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 154 amino acids (17-147) and
having a molecular mass of 16.8kDa.
GP9 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus
& purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Glycoprotein-9 (GP9) is a small membrane glycoprotein found on the surface of human platelets. GP9 forms a one to one noncovalent complex with glycoprotein Ib, a platelet surface membrane glycoprotein complex which functions as a receptor for von Willebrand factor. The complete receptor complex includes noncovalent association of the alpha and beta subunits with the protein and platelet glycoprotein V. GP9 gene defects cause the Bernard-Soulier syndrome, aka giant platelet disease whose patients have unusually large platelets and have a clinical bleeding tendency.
