Glycoprotein VI and uses thereof

An isolated nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of:

• a) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence which is at least 45% identical to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, 2, 14 or 15, the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number 207180 or PTA-225, or a complement thereof;
• b) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a fragment of at least 300 nucleotides of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, 2, 14 or 15, the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number 207180 or PTA-225, or a complement thereof;
• c) a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3 or 16, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number 207180 or PTA-225;
• and
• d) a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a fragment of a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3 or 16, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number 207180 or PTA-225, wherein the fragment comprises at least 15 contiguous amino acids of SEQ ID NO:3 or 16, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number 207180 or PTA-225;
