[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ITA2B_HUMAN ITA2B_HUMAN]] Defects in ITGA2B are a cause of Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/273800 273800]]; also known as thrombasthenia of Glanzmann and Naegeli. GT is the most common inherited disease of platelets. It is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding of mild-to-moderate severity and the inability of this integrin to recognize macromolecular or synthetic peptide ligands. GT has been classified clinically into types I and II. In type I, platelets show absence of the glycoprotein IIb/beta-3 complexes at their surface and lack fibrinogen and clot retraction capability. In type II, the platelets express the glycoprotein IIb/beta-3 complex at reduced levels (5-20% controls), have detectable amounts of fibrinogen, and have low or moderate clot retraction capability. The platelets of GT 'variants' have normal or near normal (60-100%) expression of dysfunctional receptors.<ref>PMID:8282784</ref> <ref>PMID:7508443</ref> <ref>PMID:7706461</ref> <ref>PMID:8704171</ref> <ref>PMID:9215749</ref> <ref>PMID:9473221</ref> <ref>PMID:9763559</ref> <ref>PMID:9722314</ref> <ref>PMID:9734640</ref> <ref>PMID:9920835</ref> <ref>PMID:10607701</ref> <ref>PMID:11798398</ref> <ref>PMID:12181054</ref> <ref>PMID:12083483</ref> <ref>PMID:12424194</ref> <ref>PMID:12506038</ref> <ref>PMID:15099289</ref> <ref>PMID:15219201</ref> <ref>PMID:17018384</ref>   

[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ITA2B_HUMAN ITA2B_HUMAN]] Integrin alpha-IIb/beta-3 is a receptor for fibronectin, fibrinogen, plasminogen, prothrombin, thrombospondin and vitronectin. It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in a wide array of ligands. It recognizes the sequence H-H-L-G-G-G-A-K-Q-A-G-D-V in fibrinogen gamma chain. Following activation integrin alpha-IIb/beta-3 brings about platelet/platelet interaction through binding of soluble fibrinogen. This step leads to rapid platelet aggregation which physically plugs ruptured endothelial cell surface.
