CD61 is a 90kD type I membrane protein, which is expressed primarily on megakaryocytes, platelets, monocytes, macrophages, granulocytes and endothelial cells. CD61 associates with either the alpha IIb integrin (CD41) or the alpha V integrin (CD51) to form the platelet glycoprotein complex IIb/IIIa and the vitronectin receptor (VNR) respectively. The heterodimers formed with CD61 are receptors for a variety of ligands including fibrinogen, fibronectin, von Willebrands factor (vWF), vitronectin and thrombospondin.Synonyms: GP3A, GPIIIa, Integrin beta-3, Platelet membrane glycoprotein IIIa
