Structural highlightsDiseaseGPVI_HUMAN Bleeding diathesis due to glycoprotein VI deficiency. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
FunctionGPVI_HUMAN Collagen receptor involved in collagen-induced platelet adhesion and activation. Plays a key role in platelet procoagulant activity and subsequent thrombin and fibrin formation. This procoagulant function may contribute to arterial and venous thrombus formation. The signaling pathway involves the FcR gamma-chain, the Src kinases (likely FYN or LYN) and SYK, the adapter protein LAT and leads to the activation of PLCG2.[1] [2]
