Article Synopsis
- Platelet glycoprotein VI (GPVI) is a key receptor for collagen in atherothrombosis, which involves blood clotting related to artery disease.
- Recent studies suggested GPVI might also function as a receptor for fibrin, important for developing antithrombotic drugs targeting GPVI.
- However, this study found that GPVI-Fc fusion proteins do not bind to fibrin, indicating GPVI's role is primarily as a collagen receptor, which has implications for understanding thrombus formation and future treatments.
