Product Overview
GP1BA polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of GP1BA protein.
CD42a is a single-chain membrane glycoprotein that forms a noncovalent complex with CD42b. CD42b, also known as glycoprotein Ib a (GPIb a) is a membrane glycoprotein that is composed of a and b chains. The CD42b b chain is also designated CD42c, and is expressed on platelets and megakaryocytes. CD42a and CD42b are also present on platelets and mega-karyocytes, and the complex is a major component of the platelet surface. The complex acts as a receptor for von Willebrand’s factor and as a von Willebrand’s factor-dependent adhesion receptor.

This antibody has been validated for WB. Always refer to the product datasheet for recommended dilution ranges and appropriate positive control samples for each application type.
Validated reactivity has been confirmed for Human. Cross-reactivity with additional species may exist based on sequence homology but has not been confirmed by the manufacturer. For unlisted species, we recommend running a preliminary validation experiment.
This antibody was raised in Rabbit. For indirect detection (WB, IHC, IF), select an anti-Rabbit secondary antibody that matches the isotype. For direct detection, check the variant selector for conjugated formats. Confirm secondary antibody compatibility before ordering.

Please refer to the storage conditions on the product label and datasheet. As a general best practice: upon receipt, aliquot into single-use volumes to minimize freeze-thaw cycling, which can progressively reduce antibody performance and lead to aggregation.
Validated reactivity covers Human samples. Performance can vary across different cell lines and tissue types depending on target antigen expression levels and epitope accessibility. We recommend verifying target expression in your specific model system using a known positive control before proceeding to experimental samples.
