TL;DR: No differences were observed in the nature of a high molecular weight acidic glycopeptide released from washed thrombasthenic and control platelet suspensions by trypsin, and the sialie acid content of throm B platelets was shown to be within the normal range.

Abstract: Summary. A glycoprotein abnormality in membrane fractions isolated from the platelets of patients with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia is described. Glycoproteins solubilized from thrombasthenic and control human platelets have been compared by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. Whereas in a control human platelet membrane fraction three major glycoproteins of molecular weight 155 000, 135 000 and 103 000 were observed, in a similar fraction from thrombasthenic platelets a glycoprotein of 152 000 molecular weight predominated. No differences were observed in the nature of a high molecular weight acidic glycopeptide released from washed thrombasthenic and control platelet suspensions by trypsin, and the sialie acid content of thrombasthenic platelets was shown to be within the normal range.
It is suggested that the glycoprotein abnormality may be due to an altered organization within the thrombasthenic platelet membrane and that further studies are necesasry to investigate the role of membrane glycoproteins in platelet function.

Distinct functions of integrin alpha and beta subunit cytoplasmic domains in cell spreading and formation of focal adhesions
Jari Ylänne,Yi-Ping Chen,Timothy E. O'Toole,Joseph C. Loftus,Yoshikazu Takada,Mark H. Ginsberg +5 more
TL;DR: The integrin beta 3 subunit cytoplasmic domain is necessary and sufficient for initiation of cell spreading and focal adhesion formation and the beta 3 cytopLasmicdomain is required for the transmission of intracellular contractile forces to fibrin gels.
von Willebrand factor.
TL;DR: The von Willebrand factor is a multimeric plasma glycoprotein synthesized by endothelial cells and megakaryotes and it serves as both a carrier for factor VIII and as a mediator of initial platelet adhesion to the subendothelium.

Platelet membrane glycoproteins implicated in ristocetin-induced aggregation. Studies of the proteins on platelets from patients with Bernard-Soulier syndrome and von Willebrand's disease.
TL;DR: The data suggest that membrane glycoproteins may play a functional role in ristocetin-induced aggregation and that platelets from patients with von Willebrand's disease showed a normal exposure of membrane components.
