Function
Gp-Ib, a surface membrane protein of platelets, participates in the formation of platelet plugs by binding to von Willebrand factor, which is already bound to the subendothelium.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Membrane (Single-pass type I membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in heart and brain
Disease Association: Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS) : An autosomal recessive coagulation disorder characterized by a prolonged bleeding time, unusually large platelets, thrombocytopenia, and impaired prothrombin consumption. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
