| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables collagen binding activity and collagen receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within collagen-activated tyrosine kinase receptor signaling pathway and platelet aggregation. Located in cell surface and plasma membrane. Is expressed in bone marrow; femur; liver; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in blood platelet disease (multiple); coronary artery disease (multiple); and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human GP6 (glycoprotein VI platelet). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous with disruptions in this gene display functional abnormalities in their platelets including failure of the platelets to aggregate and to become activated. The effects on blood clotting are minor however. [provided by MGI curators] |
