Gene details
- HGNC symbol
- ITGB3
- Aliases
- GT; CD61; GP3A; BDPLT2; GPIIIa; BDPLT16
- Common name
- integrin subunit beta 3
- Description
- The ITGB3 protein product is the integrin beta chain beta 3. Integrins are integral cell-surface proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. A given chain may combine with multiple partners resulting in different integrins. Integrin beta 3 is found along with the alpha IIb chain in platelets. Integrins are known to participate in cell adhesion as well as cell-surface mediated signalling. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
