The gpIIb/IIIa complex, also known as integrin αIIbβ3, is expressed by megakaryocytes and platelets. It undergoes conformational changes upon activation by substances, such as ADP, thrombin, and TXA2, which subsequently reveals a ligand binding site that is specific for fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor (vWF), fibronectin, and vitronectin. This conformational change is crucial for platelet-platelet adhesion. Ligand bound gpIIb/IIIa complex promotes platelet aggregation. This complex plays an important role in hemostasis and is a target for developing therapeutic antibodies in immune thrombocytopenia.
