Abstract excerpt
The multisubunit leucine-rich glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX-V complex mediates von Willebrand factor-dependent platelet adhesion at sites of blood-vessel injury. Molecular defects of this receptor are reported to cause the Bernard-Soulier haemorrhagic disorder. To gain insight into the mechanisms controlling expression of normal and defective receptors, we performed pulse-chase metabolic studies and detailed analysis...
