description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables collagen binding activity. Involved in blood coagulation and megakaryocyte development. Acts upstream of or within cell-matrix adhesion and negative regulation of platelet activation. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Predicted to be part of glycoprotein Ib-IX-V complex. Is expressed in several structures, including hepatic primordium; liver; mesenchyme derived from splanchnopleure; placenta; and yolk sac. Orthologous to human GP5 (glycoprotein V platelet). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for one null allele develop normally with no spontaneous bleeding while their platelets show normal thrombin responsiveness and lack a Bernard-Soulier phenotype. In contrast, homozygotes for a second null allele show a shorter bleeding time and platelet hyperresponsiveness to thrombin. [provided by MGI curators] |
