Description
The RPM.4 antibody reacts with CD42d (Platelet glycoprotein V, GPV), an 88-kDa glycoprotein which noncovalently associates with GPIb and GPIX to form a receptor for von Willebrand factor on megakaryocytes and resting platelets. The binding sites for von Willebrand factor and thrombin have been localized to the GPIbα chain of the GPI-b-V-IX complex. GPV is cleaved by thrombin to release a 70 kDa soluble fragment, which contains the epitope recognized by mAb RPM.4. Although the rat CD42d protein's structure is similar to that of human CD42d, the RPM.4 antibody does not cross-react with human platelets.
