Megakaryocyte and platelet inhibitory receptor G6b (MPIG6B)

Inhibitory receptor that acts as a crucial regulator of hematopoietic lineage differentiation, megakaryocyte function and platelet production (PubMed:12665801, PubMed:17311996, PubMed:27743390). Inhibits platelet aggregation and activation by agonists such as ADP and collagen-related peptide (PubMed:12665801).

This regulation of megakaryocate function in addition to platelet production ann activation is done through the inhibition (through the 2 ITIM motifs) of the receptors CLEC1B and GP6:FcRgamma signaling (PubMed:17311996). Appears to function in a calcium-independent manner (PubMed:12665801).
