OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a platelet membrane glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The encoded protein is a receptor for collagen and plays a critical role in collagen-induced platelet aggregation and thrombus formation. The encoded protein forms a complex with the Fc receptor gamma-chain that initiates the platelet activation signaling cascade upon collagen binding. Mutations in this gene are a cause of platelet-type bleeding disorder-11 (BDPLT11). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GP6 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads GP6 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GP6 could matter depends on whether native GP6 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GP6 is annotated at the cell surface, where native GP6 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label GP6 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
